5 Reasons Your House Isn’t Selling (Or Didn’t Sell)
Is your home listed for sale, but not getting any offers? Your problem could be any of these reasons your house isn’t selling.
It’s Overpriced – In the current market, where inventory is so low and buyer demand is high, homes are selling very quickly. If your home isn’t selling you might want to reconsider your asking price. The number one reasons homes don’t sell is because they are overpriced.
It’s Outdated – If your home is terribly outdated, that can be a major turn off to home buyers. For the most part, buyers want a home that is move-in ready. If all they notice are your kitchen and bathrooms from the 80’s and your old carpet, they’re not going to be impressed.
Bad Decor – Buyers want to see your home as a blank canvas. They don’t want to see all your personal knick knacks and photos all over the place, and they don’t want your blue or red walls. Depersonalize and declutter, and then neutralize all the paint colors in your home. If buyers can’t see themselves in your home, they will turn right around and leave.
Curb Appeal – You only get one chance to make a first impression so work on that curb appeal! Make sure your bushes are trimmed, your grass is cut and edged, your exterior paint is in good condition, etc.
You’re Not Using a Realtor – Data from a recent NAR study shows that less than 10% of For Sale By Owner’s (FSBO’s) actually sell. Approximately 90% of buyers are using a Realtor to find a home, and even more are finding that home on the internet. However, when you FSBO your home, your home listing does not come up in those buyers’ MLS searches. You are limiting your potential exposure to a very, very small percentage of buyers.
