If a home for sale is taking longer to sell than you thought, it might be due to common problems like overpricing, unflattering listing photos and maintenance issues.
Here are five reasons why homes don’t sell :
Pricing
When the price is right, buyers will flock to it. Revisit the comps. Here’s some advice that will help your clients find the magic number.
Editing
How’s the presentation of the home? Does the décor and furniture work well together create an attractive, living space? A deep-clean, declutter and some staging may be needed to spruce up your listing. These staging tips can help present the home in a way that appeals to a wide range of buyers.
Photography
How are the photos of the property online? Were the photos taken on a sunny day? Do the photos depict the space in the best possible light? If you want a home to appeal to buyers, you’ll want to make sure to avoid these common photo mistakes.
Maintenance
Are there undone maintenance items that the homeowners have put off? Tackle any house projects to avoid buyer hesitation.
Relaunch as a new listing
Sometimes relaunching may be a strategy to consider. Get a new MLS number, add some new photos and do some staging to show all the changes you’ve made, and give it another go.
