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.

1. Price – Evaluate the market with your agent to see the recent solds and new listings.  Discuss where your house fits into this market data.   Now may be the time for a price reduction.
2. Condition – Look at your house through buyers’ eyes.  Spruce up, fix problems, de-clutter.  Review feedback from showings to see if any issues need to be addressed.
3. Location – If you are located close to the road or are in a very rural area, for example, you can only overcome a poor location by lower pricing.
4. Marketing Plan – Review where your property has been marketed with your agent.  Look for heavy internet exposure, make sure you are in the area's Multiple Listing Service, and discuss the target market.

It takes time to market and sell a home, especially in this buyers’ market.  It’s important to have realistic expectations about how long it does take to sell - talk to your agent about 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, www.donnaforest.com, donna@donnaforest.com.
