Q: Me = separated from ex for 2 years ( but not divorced )

We have our marital home in Brisbane ( Wakerley 4154 ) sitting empty for sale since Feb 1 . We had one offer for 710 K and all other offers under 700 K .

My ex refused the offer for 710 K insisting that it is worth 725 + K and more like 745 K .

No more offers coming in .

She is offering to drop the price if I give her 60/40 split or if I change from current real estate to purple bricks who offer less commission which I don’t agree to either .

In the mean while we are both paying $1200 each per month on a dead mortgage and other associated costs Eg rates .

How do I force a sale for market price just to get closure ?
A: Thanks for your advice Patrick

How do I force a sale for market price just to get closure ?
A: Thanks Brendon . What would a court order actually do ? Which court would that be heard in ?

Can the court make her accept market value and how long does that process take and cost ?

I can see her ignoring any legal letters so then does she get notice to appear in court ?

I know mediation is the best option but she just won’t budge and is prepared to hold out indefinitely for an offer of 725K K + where as I just want to sell for market price within a reasonable time frame .

So far 6 months on the market is more than a reasonable time frame
