A Month on the Market and Too Few Bites for Comfort

We bought a rental a little over a month ago. We're advertising on Postlets and Craigslist (renewing every few days) and so far have only shown the house four times. 

We've got reserves to cover the mortgage for a long while, but I honestly didn't expect it to take this long.

It's in a great school district, has great amenities in the community, blah blah blah.

If you'd be so kind, below is my copy. Please let me know how I can tweak it for maximum effectiveness.

If it's allowed, I can post the link as well so you can see the photos

This home has it all. Three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms in the historic Jamestown 1607 neighborhood gives you all the amenities you could hope for. Laminate flooring throughout the entire downstairs, along with a formal dining room with crown molding and a large, eat-in kitchen with newly installed back splash.

Fresh paint and updated fixtures make this the perfect home in the perfect location. It is in a very sought after school district and close to shopping, William & Mary, and many military installations.

The community has a swimming pool and playground just steps away from the home. A mile from the Jamestown Settlement, ferry and beach.

The home is available now for lease, lease option, or lease purchase.

Call Brooks at xxx-xxx-xxxx  to apply to move home to Jamestown 1607.

@Brooks Rembert  have you considered that although it's a great house, the rent amount you're charging is too high?  If you lowered it, you'd probably get more hits.
