Since there is nothing the lender did incorrectly and it is doubtful that you can sue the real estate agent for not revealing the number of properties occupied by what you consider undesirables. You could try to rent it out if that wlil give you a positive cash flow or sell it to someone giving them good terms so your house is of more interest than others. The real estate market does seem to be getting a little stronger, but the changes are very regional.
