I always thought this would work wonders:

Say the listing price is $250K.

Buyer: Offer $240K
Seller: Counter offers something like $245K
Buyer: Counter offer $238K
Seller: Confused. Asks why you offered even lower than original offer.
Buyer: Because your house is no longer worth as much as it was a week ago.
Seller: Refuses offer.
Buyer: (week later) Offer $237K
Seller: Refuses. Pissed off more
Buyer: (2 weeks later) Offer $236K
Sellers: Refuses. Pissed off and getting concerned he/she may not be able to sell house
Buyer: (2 weeks later) Offer $235K.
Seller: See that house price keeps going down, gets disgusted and signs contract.

Sort of like a stock you own. Price keeps going down and you finally throw in the towel.
