You put your home on the market but yet it doesn't sell. You ask yourself- Why?
There are many reasons but these are the most common mistakes that kill most home sales.
1. How long the home was on the market and at what price – Pricing is by far the biggest reason why homes don’t sell. Was the home listed for many months at an above-market price? Was the price reduced multiple times?
2. If the home was marketed properly – Was the house professionally photographed? Was the description accurate?
3. Was it the agent you hired? Do they work for a reputable firm? How long have they been working in real estate? Do they have a good online presence?
4. What is the condition of the home – Does the home look like it’s in good condition? Are there only a few pictures? Does the listing have pictures of every major room in the house? If not, buyers may believe that there may be some serious condition issues in the rooms not photographed.
5. Was your home was staged? – This is an easy one. If the home was not staged buyers will see lots of personal items, family pictures, clutter etc. in the listing photos. Are the pictures of a vacant home? All of these lead to negative perceptions of the home by a potential buyer
