Why Is That House Not Selling?

By
Real Estate Agent with Portland Vancouver Homes


If you are selling your home and it has been on the market for several months, you might start to wonder why it just isn't moving. How can you introduce some extra energy into the house to entice a sale?

The first thing a seller needs to do is have an open and honest heart to heart talk with their real estate agent.  Sellers need to get feedback from prospective buyers who have seen the home, and from the other agents who have shown it. Then, that seller needs to be prepared for what they hear.  The feedback may be hard to swallow. 

Does the home look its best?

Does it show as well as it did the first week it was on the market?

Is it accessible for agents to show on short notice?

Is the price in line with the rest of the market?

Has the market changed since the home was first listed?

Does the seller need to consider neutralizing any strong decorating features that may not have wide appeal?

How is the curb appeal?

Getting a home sold is a collaborative effort between a seller and their real estate agent. It is important for the agent to market the property aggressively, and the seller must do their part to ensure that buyers see a home that is as appealing as it can be. Make sure to ask that agent for any new ideas that will create results. The market is constituently changing!
