Are you frustrated that your house hasn’t sold? You have a great house, but for some reason, buyers haven’t snapped it up yet?
There are numerous possible reasons why your home hasn’t sold: marketing, pictures, an issue blocking the sale, staging, showing condition, curb appeal, access for viewing, floor plan, a negative feature, the price, etc.!
The key is to find out exactly what is stopping the sale and resolve the issue. I’ve seen many homes sell after just one thing was changed.
Here are a few examples of other homes that finally sold after the challenge blocking the sale was resolved:
Home #1 sat on the market for 6 months because it was not being marketed properly. The marketing was improved, and the home sold 3 weeks later with lots of buyer interest.
Home #2 sat on the market for 6 months because it did not have attractive pictures. After new pictures were taken of the house, it sold a few months later.
Home #3 sat on the market for 6 months because there was a minor problem blocking the sale. After a solution was developed for the problem, the home sold in a week.
Home #4 sat on the market for over a year because it did not show well. The home was staged, and as a result, it sold about 2 months later.
Home #5 sat on the market for 6 months because it did not have good curb appeal. Some minor changes were made to improve the curb appeal, the marketing was improved, and as a result, the home finally sold.
Home #6 sat on the market for 6 months because it was difficult to show. Some changes were made in the marketing to “pre-sell” buyers on the home before they saw it. A buyer saw the home and was willing to wait for a showing. Once the buyer saw the home, they made an offer, and it finally sold.
Home #7 sat on the market for 6 months because it had a negative feature that turned off most buyers. The marketing was changed to showcase the positive elements of the home instead of this one negative feature. As a result, the home sold about 45 days later.
Home #8 sat on the market for over a year because it had an unattractive floor plan. The home was staged to demonstrate that the floor plan was attractive. In addition, the marketing and pictures were improved. As a result, the home sold shortly after.
Home #9 sat on the market for 6 months because it was priced too high. The marketing and pictures were improved, and the price was reduced. The home sold about 60 days later.
I hope these examples demonstrate that most home-selling challenges can be overcome.
