days on the market does not always mean overpriced.
like someone above said, it could be a number of reasons. Could be that buyers are just not shopping. In my town, the investors went on a shopping spree in 2013 and hoarded a bunch of properties to tear down and build McMansions. This year, they're not buying, so it's taking much longer to sell.
There are a lot of "don't really have to sell" people. For example, there's one seller in my town who listed a $3,000,000 house for 2 years. It's finally pending sale. There's nothing wrong with the house. He just said 'no' to all the other low offers, and finally someone came along and found the house a good fit.
If a home has been listed for over 100 days .......
100 days on market is not a long time. I wouldn't be wondering why it didn't sell until after it had been on the market for 6 months.
Even in hot markets, it will only be a specific type of house in a specific price range that buyers are fighting over. Every other property follows a more normal time frame.
It is not exactly like that, it is dependent upon various factors like current market prices, timing and what an agent is telling customers about the house, sometimes it is also a matter of sellers wist to sell a house or not.
