So you decided to sell your house. You listed with a Realtor and your hopes were high. Six months came and went but your house didn’t sell. Now what?
There are many reasons why some homes don’t sell. But it usually boils down to one of three things.
1. Your price was too high. It sounds overly simple but it’s true. The number one reason why your house won’t sell is because it isn’t priced correctly. Some Realtors will tell you a really high value just to get you to list with them. This is a very common tactic. By the time you realize you need a price reduction, it’s too late. Your house has been on the market for several months and you missed the golden 30-day window. One of the best ways to tell your house is overpriced is if you are not getting many showings.
2. Your house has something wrong with it. If your house is priced correctly and it still didn’t sell you need to look at the house itself. Maybe it needs some general repairs or updating. Maybe it has a strong pet odor. Or perhaps it has a bad floor plan. It could even be something simple like having too much clutter. For every 10 showings, you should receive an offer. If your house is showing but no offers there is probably something wrong with your house. You have to figure out what is causing people to not like your house and then fix that problem. If you don’t want to fix the problem you’ll need to lower the price.
3. Your house was not marketed correctly. Using the right Realtor to properly market your house makes a huge difference. Sometimes poor marketing strategies can cause your house not to sell. If you want to know more about this give us a call and we can show you our marketing strategy.
