๐ง MYTH-BUSTING MONDAYS โผ๏ธ โ If a house has been on Rightmove for ages, there must be something wrong with itโฆ right? ๐ค
The Myth: "If a property has been on the market for a long time, it must have a problem."
The Reality: There are plenty of reasons why a property might have been on the market for longer than expected. It could have been overpriced initially, poorly marketed, had a buyer fall through, or simply not yet found the right buyer.
And sometimes, the reason is much simpler - the seller may not be in a rush to move.
So before writing a property off because you've seen it on Rightmove for a while, look beyond the listing date.
The asking price, presentation, marketing and circumstances behind the sale can all tell you much more ๐ก
A property being on the market for a while doesn't automatically mean there's something wrong with it. Sometimes, it just hasn't found the right buyer yet! ๐
