So your home has been on the market for quite a long time and it just won’t sell. The first thing you should know is that there is a problem somewhere. Homes for sale in West Chester, Liberty Twp & Mason Ohio that are priced right and are in great condition are selling, and are selling pretty quickly. Here are 7 steps for getting your home sold when it has been on the market too long or the listing has expired:
1. Consider re-listing your home for sale. Please understand, I don’t mean just re-list to get yourself a new MLS number. I mean really re-list your home. Change your price. Change your agent/broker. Change your photos. Change your mindset about selling.
2. Consider offering some incentives. Offer to pay the buyer’s closing costs. Offer to pay the buyer’s agent a higher commisson. Offer to put all brand new kitchen appliances in the home if yours are older.
3. Make your home available for showings at anytime. If you are serious about selling your home, don’t put limitations on when it can be shown. If you have pets that cause issues for showings, make arrangements for them to stay at a friend’s house or at a pet boarding center.
4. Be sure you have the best marketing. Do you have the maximum number of high quality photos, a virtual tour, a YouTube video, Craigslist advertising and exposure to all of the national as well as local internet websites? You better have, if you want your home sold!
5. Be sure you have the best photos. Yes, I am repeating this one. It is crucial that you have great photos and plenty of them. Keep in mind, if your home has been on the market for quite a while, your photos are old. They need to be current with the seasons. No pictures of homes with trees with no leaves and NO SNOW!
6. Be sure that you have the right list price. Get an updated Market Value Analysis of your home. Real estate market conditions change. Be sure you have the most current information.
7. Get your home professionally staged. I know you didn’t have it staged before you listed your home for sale the first time, because if you had done so, your home would already be sold.
So there is a good start. If your home was listed for sale for too long and you are frustrated take these tips to heart. If you are looking for solutions and want a second opinion give us a call. We can get your home sold. We specialize in homes that should have sold, but didn’t.

West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate Market Breakdown – July 2011
It’s time to breakdown the West Chester & Liberty Township Ohio real estate market again. In the real estate market breakdown we take a look at which price ranges are in the best shape from a home sellers perspective in West Chester Ohio and Liberty Township, Ohio and which are not? The best way to measure the general strength of the West Chester & Liberty Township, Ohio real estate market and to break down it’s different price ranges is to evaluate the amount of homes for sale in both the total area and also in each different price range.
SEARCH ALL HOMES FOR SALE IN WEST CHESTER & LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, OHIO
As you can see in the chart below, there is clearly more activity in some price ranges than others and certainly more homes for sale in some of the ranges also. In each of the different price ranges you can see the number of homes for sale, the number of homes that have sold in the last six months and the months supply of homes for sale.
The number of homes for sale is a pretty straight forward statistic, the number of homes that have sold in the last six months is used to determine the rate that homes are currently selling. The key number in this chart is the months supply of homes for sale.
If we were in a seller’s market we would show a month’s supply of less than 5 months inventory, 5-6 months supply of homes for sale is considered a neutral market favoring neither homebuyers or homesellers and anything over 6 months is considered a buyer’s market. The higher the number of months of inventory the stronger the buyer’s market.
Clearly we can see that a number of price ranges are in a more extreme buyer’s market than others. It’s no surprise that we are in a buyer’s market, but the intensity of the buyer’s market in the higher price ranges is quite extreme. When listing a home for sale you must understand the level of pricing pressure and competition so that you employ the correct pricing strategy in selling your home.
Please keep in mind that these statistics are for West Chester Ohio and Liberty Township, Ohio only and are based on data obtained from the Greater Cincinnati MLS. When making pricing decisions and putting your home on the market be sure that you have not only looked at the recently sold homes in your neighborhood, but also at the active competition currently on the market and the direction of the current market. Especially in your home’s particular price range.

West Chester Ohio Real Estate Market Breakdown – April 2011
Which price ranges are in the best shape from a home sellers perspective in West Chester, Ohio and which are not?

The number of homes for sale is a pretty straight forward statistic, the number of homes that have sold in the last six months is used to determine the rate that homes are currently selling. The key number in this chart is the months supply of homes for sale.
A seller’s market would show a month’s supply of less than 5 months, 5-6 months supply of homes for sale is considered a neutral market and anything over 6 months is considered a buyer’s market. The higher the number the stronger the buyer’s market.
Looking back at the January Real Estate Market Breakdown you can see that in a number of the different price ranges the months supply of homes for sale has greatly increased. This is caused by two factors: (1.) There are more homes for sale now and (2.) The pace at which homes were selling in this last six month period has slowed considerably. Clearly we can see that a number of price ranges, as well as the overall market are a buyer’s market. No surprise there, but when listing a home for sale you must understand the level of pricing pressure and competition that you face so that you can employ the correct pricing strategy in selling your home.
Please keep in mind that these statistics are for West Chester, Ohio only and should be considered along with the Liberty Township, Ohio real estate market statistics when making pricing decisions and putting your home on the market. I will update the market numbers for Liberty Township later this week.
