Top 4 Reasons Why Your Home Isn't Selling
Right now, buyers are plentiful and multiple offers are common. Homes are flying off the market and selling in just days. Is your home currently on the market, but you aren't getting offers like you hoped you would? Here are some reasons why your home just isn't selling:
It stinks. Literally, pet odors and food odors can totally turn off potential buyers.- It's dirty. Buyers often have a hard time looking beyond clutter and dirt to see the potential value of a home.
- It's poorly maintained. Lots of little unkept or broken things like cabinets off the hinges or broken appliances can reflect negatively on the overall appearance of the house.
- And probably the number one reason your home is not selling; It's grossly overpriced! Even if a fool comes along willing to pay way over the listing price, it still will have to appraise if financing is required. Even cash buyers will most likely order an appraisal.
If you are serious about selling, be very conscious of things you need to do to sell your house. If you're not, you're only wasting your time, energy and resources to list. Why take on the hassle of listing and showing your house when nothing will come of it. It's not a real listing anyway.
Hire a professional Realtor who will be honest with you, and then listen to them. That's the way to sell in this market.
