As stated previously, you got your answer, it’s price. Period. Let’s use a real world example:
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-076090156-5838_Yokohama_Ct_San_Diego_CA_92120
Will this place sell at this price? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t give the seller $900K for it. It’s a nice place in a fair neighborhood, last sold in 2003 for $770,250 ( I wonder to whom?). The market doesn’t give a crap how much they spent for the place, it’s worth what it’s worth. What would I be willing to pay? I think the 2003 price is pretty close right now, but there is no gaurantee it will stay this way. Timing is also critical, I could easily afford this place right now but that doesn’t mean I’m going to buy it.
(By the way, THIS is how you sneak an ad for a property on a bearish housing website)

Maybe you are afraid your numbers don’t justify the fee you charge? What percent of asking price are your sales coming in at? 80%, 85%, 90%? Do you invest ANY money for your clients? Or just take 2-3% for posting it on MLS and helping to determine price?
Sincerely,
