Currently, the most common way to sell real estate in the U.S. is by listing it in MLS and then continuing to drop the price until a buyer makes an acceptable offer (see above).
Most real estate agents don't realize this is an auction, a dutch auction - just done very slowly.
By definition in Wikipedia, a Dutch auction is a type of auction where the auctioneer begins with a high asking price which is lowered until some participant is willing to accept the auctioneer's price.
Since you're already doing a type of auction, why not try a traditional auction where you open bidding to a group of interested buyers and let them determine the market value. It can be done much faster and is a much more exciting way to sell real estate.
The traditional auction puts you in control. You determine when the property is open for viewing, you control when the bidding will end and the seller decides whether they will accept the highest bid.
With the glut of inventory available in many markets, auctions are gaining momentum and by using the internet, you don't need to coordinate a "live" event, all bidding is done online.
