I'm new to the Paraliminals myself. However, I've gone through exactly the same thing you are describing, and have some suggestions for you about the condo itself. First, I know it's all doom-and-gloom when you talk to other homeowners. However, don't forget that multiple people trying to sell at the same time will only help to depress property values even further. Also, leaving your condo listed for 8 months continuously makes a buyer think: WHY is it so hard for them to sell this one? It has nothing to do with you or your condo, it's just human nature. So, if at all possible, analyse WHY you need to sell - I know you say you need it sold SOON, but I will suggest that perhaps you need to hold on to it and accept the financial drain for now.
Don't get mad at me: I say this for a reason. Let the others sell _if_ they can. Your own experience shows you that maybe they cannot, as fast as they'd like. Instead of letting this financial outflow occupy the majority of your thoughts, FOCUS on making it better. Once you accept that either you cannot sell right now, or that you must be willing to take an even lower price (truly accept one of these two options), your brain is then free to try to "make it better". Which could mean: renting out the place so you have some income to offset the outgo. Or (depending on venue and city regulations) making it a bed-and-breakfast place (why NOT in a condo? Europeans do it all the time!), or renting it short-term to visitors from overseas. Or .... whatever. If the light is good, maybe an artist would be glad to rent it during the day to paint in.
You get the idea. Right now, you are focused on ONE aspect: SELL. That means your brain isn't thinking at its full potential. Get unstuck and watch the answers flow in.:)
The conclusion of my own story? That was 4 years ago that I was _desperate_ to sell: for many reasons. I actually had it on the market, got a laughable offer, turned it down. Decided to hold on to it. Rented it out for a while, then moved in there myself for a couple of years (reduced outflow, see?). I've just finally sold the unit - the market did decide to up-tick finally, and I got out at a healthy profit.
Great learning experience.
All that said, if you decide you really ARE going to sell it ASAP, then you need to make it stand out from the other units up for sale. Either lower your price, or offer better terms. Take a closer look at the unit itself, and spend a little to make it look its best (a fresh coat of paint in itself can work wonders!) - it's paradoxical, but sometimes you really do have to spend a little more on what you think is a lost cause. As others have suggested, stage the unit: put in just a minimum of furniture and brighten it up with some flowers (even artificial), so it looks lovely but not cluttered. Offer to throw in the furniture as part of the sale (if it's yours, of course, not if it's rented). Ask your realtor to take it off the market for a month and then re-list it - that may be your biggest selling point, being "fresh" on the market.
Good luck with the condo. I'm sure you'll make the decision that's right for you, and will relax as soon as you've consciously made it!
