It probably isn't a bad idea - It could work and is worth a shot in this instance.
System wide though, if everyone threw a bbq and put on a pony ride, I don't think it would solve the problems of buyers not willing to pay up.
Every day we see the stock market go down. Every day, we hear about how this is being caused by the real estate meltdown in the USA and Eurpoe. Every day, someone makes a comparison to the great depression. As long as this slide continues, I think it is going to get harder and harder to find willing buyers. If you see things turning around by all means hold out. However I would advise reading about what happens to asset prices during a credit boom and how credit booms generally end.
