Are you working with an agent? If so, their pricing strategy is likely your best bet. However, in my opinion, it sounds like it was over priced to begin with. The market is also shifting and houses are sitting longer and that in inevitable. I do not think it is bad to drop to often, to keep interest and to stay top of mind but it should not be the ONLY marketing strategy your agent is using to get your home sold.
Yes, Pricing a property right from the beginning is very important. Too many price drops makes the buyer wonder what is wrong with the place or want to give a low ball offer on the home.

I give the listing approximately a month or two before doing our first price drop if we agree to an appropriate initial listing price.
