Yeah, AR nails it as usual. If it's not selling, it's priced way too high. Lots of people are emotionally invested in real estate and have a really hard time with this, but it's not "worth" anything more than the market will pay for it, no matter how much you love it or how long you've lived there/owned it.
In your situation, it might be worth sitting down and deciding:
-How much money do you need to get out of these properties to accomplish your RE goals?
-If they're not worth that much, would you be willing to sell at the market price and invest elsewhere/come up with another plan? Or do you want to keep holding onto them?
It's not all that complex, really. Ask for less money.
