In this market, if a house has sat unsold for 248 days, I might adopt a more aggressive approach to its pricing

267 Riversville Road, a 1962 ranch on a back lot, hit the market in March for $3.2 million, and as of today after a previous modest price drop, has cut that price to $2.999 million. It looks like a perfectly decent, albeit dated house, but the market’s silence is deafening; if the owners can hear it, there’s a message being sent.
