Why list it won't sell

As the market is flooded with homes, Sellers have a misconception with the large amounts of homes on the market they think why should we list our house it wont sell. I can say, I feel that it is not true. In this market you have forclosures that need so much work and some are priced way to high and lets face it they are not selling.

You have nice homes on the market that are priced to high and they are not selling. The other day a seller calls her house was listed with another agent. She asked would you come take a look at my house I'm not happy with the agent that I had and tell me why my house is not selling. The seller had the home staged, and a interior decorator decorate the home, The home was in great shape and in a great neigborhood. I told the seller you have a wonderful home but I feel it is priced out of market. I then showed her the comparable data that supported what I thought the price should be. I won't list my house at that price. What do you do. I told her well we will list the house again at your price but it won't sell. No matter what you do to house if it is priced out of market it won't sell. Buyers and Agents are smart they know when a house is priced to high. Bring the price down and it will sell

 Then you have houses that are priced right but what I consider "hard to show". These homes just need a little decluttering, cleaning up and they would sell.  Buyers have a hard time looking beyond the clutter to see the great possibilities of a home. Buyers have a hard to time looking around the mess. You want a buyer to walk through the house smoothly. Not stopping and looking at the mess.

Finally you have the homes that are priced right in good location, and "easy to show" those house are sold in a week. Houses do sell, If they are priced right , clean,  and good layout. Buyers like house that are ready to move into. Sellers do some cheap easy things to make that house sell. Paint, start packing get rid of some of the personal imprint. If you do the easy things it just might make your house sell a little faster .
