These five Atlanta properties remain for sale after 100+ days. Why?

It’s not uncommon for real estate listings to tout “location, location, location,” as a major selling point, but sometimes even that is not enough to attract a committed buyer.

For instance, these five listings are in highly desirable locations, plus they have received fairly decent price cuts during their tenure on the market. So why aren’t potential buyers interested enough to close the deal?

The gist: Located in the Element building, this 2007 corner unit comes with 180-degree views of Midtown and downtown. However, it doesn’t appear the condo has received any updates since it was first constructed, giving it a dated look. On the upside, it does come with three covered parking spaces on the same level as the condo.
