Let them eat, cupcakes!

From ABC News, we have Home Prices Fall, Sellers Suffer.

Just outside Los Angeles, Cindy Schwanke's family is waging an all-out battle to sell its three-bedroom home.

"We never really thought we'd have a problem selling," she said.

After seven months and three real estate agents, there was still no sale.

So Schwanke quit her job as a pastry chef to focus all her efforts on selling her house.

To make her home more appealing, she spent $25,000 improving it, and she dropped her asking price by a whopping $100,000.

"I try to bring people in. I bake cupcakes for them. I … offer them water, and I do whatever I can to make it a pleasant experience for them," she said.

So far, her cupcakes haven't done the trick.




Maybe, you're not doing "whatever you can". You need to try harder!

Three suggestions, sunshine: let them "cup" your "cake", give out "massages", or bake "pot brownies". Hubba, hubba!

Alternately, you could just lower the fucking price!
