Needing to leave a house after only 2 years

[/u/jujitsuhot12]

We bought a house in Jacksonville, Fl 2022. We bought for about $279,000 at 5.75%. We have obviously barely paid anything back on the actual loan amount. We listed our house for sell in mid August for $299,000. We have since lowered the price to $295,000. The problem is we are bottomed out on lower the price. We cant lower it more without having to owe at closing and we have nothing to use for closing cost. I’m at a loss of what to do. We had steady showings up until November and now have had no showings in 30 days. We have received great feedback of people saying our house is priced “just right” but they didnt like our yard or bathroom both of which are small. Should we try to maybe do a loan to be able to lower the price more? I dont think we would qualify for a short sale since its not a financial hardship we just have to move for a new job. Renting isnt a great option for us either cause our mortgage is $2000 a month and rentals in our neighborhood for bigger houses are all renting for right at that so we would lose money probably renting it out. I know most comments will say its the price cause if you lower it you will get offers which i totally understand but what do you do when lowering isnt really an option.
