OK, so we all know this market is tough for real estate, but people still have to buy and people still have to sell. Life moves on whether the housing market likes it or not. There are three key reasons that your home may not be selling in this market, and if you don't recognize them, you may end up going nowhere.

1. Your Agent - OK this one seems simple but you must realize, that in a competitive market, getting your home noticed among all of the other homes for sale that flood the streets comes down to marketing. If your marketing isn't making your home stand out, you will have to use price and with many homes on the market expect big losses if you hire an agent who can't market your home better than your competition.

2. Price - For many people who bought a few years ago in the height of the market, Selling now seems impossible because they can't lower their price but need to sell. See point 1. If you can't go lower than all the other homes to attract a buyer, then you better pick an agent that is getting homes sold through great marketing.

3. Condition - As competition increases, it increases in all three of these areas. The agent with the best marketing gets you more showings, the best prices will sell but sellers may lose money, and the homes in the best condition will sell first if the marketing was good enough to get them on the list of homes buyers want to look at.

Hiring the right agent didn't matter a few years ago when anyone could sell homes, but now if you don't pick right you will likely not sell at all.
