House won't sell? Fire your agent, hire a new one, and raise the price: that'll do it!

897 Lake Avenue, on the market since June 2024, had dropped its price from $5.995 million to $5.2 when the listing finally expired on September 15. It’s been brought back on today with a new agent and a new price, $5.450.

Well, maybe, but it certainly can’t be said that the former agent didn’t offer the public and GAR agents ample opportunity to view the house, and it was rejected. Will a higher price enhance its desirability? The new agent seems to think so, and perhaps he’s right. To quote that intrepid sailor, Lieut. Comdr. Quinton McHale, from whom all knowledge flowed, “its an idea so crazy, it just might work!” And oftentimes it did, at least on television.
