One of the most frustrating experiences that can happen to Colorado home sellers, is when they hir
e a Realtor and the house they are trying to sell sits on the market for months, months and more months.
This experience is actually more common than you'd expect. It's an awful experience for the Colorado Springs home seller.
Price is certainly the most important factor in selling a house; it trumps all other factors. As any house will sell if it priced right.
But, there are several other reasons that a home may not sell, and here's Part I of my list.
1. The home photos were done poorly and there weren't enough photos
The value of good photos can not be overstated. They are used over and over again, and most buyers and Buyer's Agents make a decision to look at a home depending on the photos that show up on the MLS and other web sites. The current statistics show that over 90% of buyers start their home search on the internet and they judge a listing by the photos.
2. The home wasn't marketed
Homes need to be advertised globally as well as locally. Proper marketing helps provide more exposure; which results in more showings and more potential offers. It's important that the home is promoted on as many web sites as possible; the more exposure the better.
It's also important that the home has good signage outside in a easily visible location, as well as professionally designed full color flyers with lots of pictures included.
3. Your home wasn't staged properly
Statistics continue to show that staged homes sell more quickly and for a higher price than homes that have not been staged. It's a beauty contest once they get in the door; and good staging can help showcase your home.
The well staged home normally gets offers quicker.
