You did not say why you could not sell it. Legal issues? Price? Market? Over did the rehab?
Can you rent it?
More info will help get a good reply. |

lower the price.
eventually if you keep lowering you will be able to sell it - if you absolutely must sell. |

You'll sell it just hang in there. It may take some time, but it'll sell. We were in that position, and I thought my house would never sell. In fact, it took it a year, but we fianlly sold her. Is your price to high? Anyway, Good luck! |

Price is what you pay for value.

Not sure if this would help. Usually, a housing market correction last for years. It is unlikely things will brighten up in a few months, afterall, this bubble took 5 years for form.
It might be better to give some discount so you unload the house quickly and can use the gain of the home to make money elsewhere quickly. At the same time, you will save money by not paying mortgage for the next 5 months.
For example, if mortgage is $2500/mo. and you have $300,000 gain sitting in the house, by selling it now rather than 5 months later will save you $12500. It will also earn you as much as $7000 from interests (Assuming CD are paying 5.5% or higher).
Total financial benefit for selling early would be $20,000. I would give buyer some discount just because of that.
Finally, keeping a house in selling condition is a lot of work. If your realtor does staging, it costs extra to rent furnitures. If you are living in the unit, it takes extra effort to keep it clean. So, sell it fast!

Possibly sell on contract, very popular alternative in todays marketplaces. |

Live in it or rent it out until the market improves. |

Is the home priced right? Are you listed with a real estate broker and are they doing a good job of marketing. It is a buyers market right now, so it's not easy. Marketing, Marketing, Marketing is the key. If you are trying to sell by owner good luck |
