NER: I really don't understand our neighbours' logic (long)

They've been trying to sell their house for 3 months- they started trying to sell it when the man lost his job.  They listed it for $75K more than we bought our house for.  It's about the same age, maybe a bit better condition, but way smaller lot, and less than 1/2 the sq footage (2br, 1 bath- ours is 4br, 1 recroom, 2.5 bath).  They have not budged on the asking price even though a comparable house in the same neighbourhood is going for $100K+ less. 

So- apparently, they decided to paint the exterior today.  I talked to the woman, and they're still asking the same, but figures the "facelift" will help it sell.  The thing is- they've already started putting the shutters/mailbox back on and it clearly needs another coat or two of paint...

I don't get it.  Sorry- there's no real point to this... other than my neighbour has no idea how to sell a house.

    My guess - they need to get that much money out of it for whatever reason and think if they just wait long enough that it will happen.
