UNDERSTAND WHY HOMES DON'T SELL
Homes that do not sell for extended periods of time are usually priced too high, are too pricey for the neighborhood, or they have a very specific feature that is not valued by the majority of home buyers, which leads to a small potential buyer pool. Sometimes these features can be corrected, but other times the marketing time is increased in order to find a buyer who accepts that feature. Strategic pricing will always be the top reason homes sell successfully.
Here is a list of other common reasons that homes do not sell:
• The home is too cluttered. Piles and stacks of stuff discourage buyers and can make the house feel much smaller. • The home interior is dated. Old styles, trimming or flooring deter sales, and so do any upgrades necessary to freshen up the decor. • The homeowner is not flexible with showings. Plan ahead to ensure kids, pets, and you are ready to show at any time. • The home is located in an area with many abandoned homes. • The real estate agent did not provide a sufficiently aggressive marketing plan. • The real estate agent did not perform the Comparative Market Analysis correctly and failed to provide strategic pricing for the home.
