FIRST, it may be a bad market, but there are still thousands of homes sold every single day! The key is to find the right buyer for your house!
I would say the key is to make yours stand out. Make sure it has better curb appeal and a better first impression than all your neighbors.
You can also do some things to get realtors to show your house:
Fax a flyer to all the real estate offices in your area. Or, better yet, take a stack up there and ask the receptionist if you can place one in each box. Highlight your house and tell them that the realtor who brings a buyer to the closing table will get $500 cash bonus at closing if it occurs before Xxxxx.
Have your realtor offer a similar bonus to the selling agent. Your realtor can update the MLS to reflect the bonus. You might stipulate that it has to sell at asking price to quality.
You (or your realtor) can also throw a realtor open house. You need to get some good hot food and good cold drinks. Buy some balloons, print out lots of flyers to have onhand, and fax an invitation to your realtor open house to all the agencies in the area. Give it a three or four hour time frame for the "event" and make sure to point out that there will be a free hot lunch. Again, mention the closing bonus.
Hope that helps!

Don’t sell! Do whatever it takes to hold on to it. Unless, you are willing to sell at a very low price.
It’s a terrible market for sellers. Take it off the market.

Worst housing market in 16 years?
I don’t think so…you should have been trying to buy and sell a house in the 1980’s when the standard interest rates were DOUBLE DIGITS.
This market is a BREEZE in comparison to the 1980’s.
