Yes, the first time I suggested lowering price to my agent -- when we had been on the market a few weeks and had had many showings and a few second showings -- she said I should wait. So I waited several weeks -- it was actually about this time of year -- and then when I did reduce it by then it was well into June and the spring market was starting to cool. What are search brackets in your MLS? If your house was below $475k would that put you into a new search bracket? Every market is different but when we were in the higher bracket we did get lots of showings but no offers. It wasn't just us -- almost everything was selling slowly. Look at sales in your price range/area? Are houses really selling or are there tons more houses on the market than sales? How long is it taking most houses to sell? And can you see a difference in prices for those that sell quickly? In our area, sales were slow and the houses that sold were either priced at what seemed like low prices or were taking 2 years to sell. We didn't want to wait 2 years so we lowered the price.

If this is for a lawn, I would not worry about it. Grass can grow just fine at that pH level. If you decide to go through with it, this is not something that can be done over night without amending your soil. I'd figure out how much each zone covers, and add the proper amount for that square foot and run the zone until the tank is empty. If you use something like Ammonium sulfate that takes about 5 lbs to get 1 lb of n per 1000 sq/ft, you might want to set the tank on the fastest setting so you are not flooding your lawn with extra water, and having most of it run off.

They probably shouldn't cover the crown, but should be as snug to it as possible, IMO. Since your crown is so deep and the window so close to it, another option would be to paint the bottom part of the crown the same color as the walls, and mount the curtain rod on the crown, which might make the room look taller.

The space alone is a wow factor and with so much stuff! Consider changing wall color througout the entire space to one color, possibly BM Balboa Mist. The color now doesn't seem to compliment the bar cabnetry, sofas, etc. The red wall I assume has windows there, if so I would consider pretty blackout curtains that run the whole wall but can be opened when you prefer.. Good luck!
