You need to be honest with yourself about the price. Would YOU re-buy this house at the listed price in comparison to other similar homes for sale?
The hard truth is that houses sell themselves. If you have good quality/professional pictures, and the house is in decent shape, clean, and is not falling apart, it all comes down to the price.
The value of your realtor is to help you stage your home, point out how you can get it ready to sell in terms of cleaning out closets, clearing clutter, fixing broken things, landscaping, etc. Take it off the market, spruce it up, take new pics, and then re-list at a more realistic price with an open house.

buyers have more tools than ever to find and see houses. If it isnt selling then price is too high or the pictures are shitty or some other factor like a shitty neighborhood which should be reflected in the price.

This. Our house was on market from November until first week of March. The open house had one person show up I believe. The biggest value was when we took it off the market end of 2023 / early 2024 was having heart to heart with my realtor about how I wouldn't buy the place at the price they were setting it at, especially with the pictures that were being used online [made the house look Yellow when it was not].
Ultimately, I was wrong about the price. She talked me into leaving the price the same for few more weeks, but would get new pictures done to fix the coloring issues. As soon as the new pictures hit, we had several showings and had 2 offers [1 at asking] almost immediately. We had one showing I think the entire month prior to these new pictures being done on the house.
I would suggest for sure looking at your place with unbiased eye from everything with the Pictures to the Price. Doing that will help put you in position to sell much faster.
