6 Reasons Homes Don’t Sell

IN A SLOW MARKET THIS MESSAGE IS AS IMPORTANT AS EVER:

1. Your home is overpriced - Price is determined by buyers (the market) and not by sellers. Be realistic when first listing your home for sale.

2. Your home doesn’t show well - Price and condition are two things that the seller can do something about. Paint all of the walls back to white.

3. You’re in a bad location - That’s ok, because you probably paid under the market when you bought it. Keep your asking price low.

4. You have a lousy listing agent - Bad advice can cost you in time, money and hassle. Bad agents will overprice your home in an effort to "buy" the listing.

5. You are battling competition or market conditions - Buyer’s market or seller’s market, bad economy, bad weather, interest rates.

6. You have ineffective marketing - You must have your listing on the internet, have open houses and be on broker tours.
