1. Location
   The property may be located near a busy road, or lack privacy. The property may be too close to other homes or lack a backyard. The poperty may be located on low terrain or lack proper drainage; over-improved. The property may be located in an area where average home pricing is much lower.
2. Condition
   Carpeting, wallpaper, paint color, kitchen, baths, etc. may be "too dated" or "too busy" and need: replacement, updating, or “neutralizing.” The interior of the property may be too cluttered with furniture and other items (such as the owners personal knick-knacks, family photos) that do not present the property in its most attractive condition. The owners may be very “untidy” and their homes could use a thorough cleaning. The exterior of the property may lack “curb appeal” with lack of landscaping . . . overgrown landscaping which needs to be pruned or trimmed.
3. Price
   The property may, simply, be overpriced for the neighborhood, and/or for the current market.
4. Terms
   The sellers may have unreasonable showing demands, i.e., the listing agent must be present at all showings. The seller may not allow a lock-box for easy access for Realtor® The seller may not allow occupancy until they have found a home and have moved out. There may be tenants who are “uncooperative” to showings.
5. Agent
   The seller’s agent may not be “effectively marketing” the home.
