What to Do if Your House Won't Sell?
If your house has been on the market longer than expected with minimal activity, it’s time to review the 4 things that impact selling: Price, Condition, Location, and Marketing Plan.
- Price – Evaluate the market with your agent and look at recent solds and new listings. Where does your house fit into this market data? It may be time for a price reduction.
- Condition – Look at your house through buyers’ eyes. Spruce up, fix problems, de-clutter.
- Location – If you are located close to the road or packed in with other homes for example, you can only overcome a poor location by lower pricing.
- Marketing Plan – Review where your property is being marketed with your agent. Look for heavy internet exposure with lots of photos & make sure it looks good in the Multiple Listing Service as well.
It’s also important to have realistic expectations about how long it takes to sell – find out the average days on market for similar houses in your price range. If you’re looking for an experienced REALTOR® who has the expertise to get your home sold, then give me a call, 603-526-4116.
