Price
Today’s buyer is educated. They have an idea of where they want to buy and what homes are selling for. Make sure you are competitive! Your Realtor is able to pull comps that will accurately tell you what homes have sold for in the last few months, whether they were updated or not, and how it compares to yours.
Difficult To Show
If a property has very limited showing times, not everyone will be able to rearrange their schedules to view. This can lead to buyers falling in love with other properties that are able to accommodate most times.
Condition Of The Home
A property that has a lot of work that needs to be done is a big commitment and can be difficult to finance. A lot of clutter can also be a turnoff for buyers. An attractively staged home goes a long way towards buyers being able to envision future meals and family gatherings.
Marketing
If they don’t know it’s for sale, who’s going to try to buy? For Sale signs, online marketing, open houses, and listing your home with an agent who is able to coordinate an effective marketing strategy is key to a home’s sale. Make sure photos are showing your home in the best light.
On The Market Too Long
The longer a home is on the market, the longer the home will stay on the market. You might be saying, huh? But once a property hits 60 or 90 days a lot of people veer away thinking something is wrong. There’s less urgency.
However, do not fear. If you nail your pricing, marketing, showing availability and make things pretty, chances are, your home will sell in a timely and profitable manner!
