Q & A

What to Do When Your House Doesn't Sell? 

  • Q: "Should I just lower the price and hope it sells?" A: Before reducing the price of your home, there are several questions you must ask yourself. Price is NOT the only reason why a home sells. The condition of the house has a major significance on the overall marketing strategy. Check out the competition with your agent. If 95% of the homes in your market are not selling, then your home needs to outshine to be on the top 5% for a chance to sell.
  • Q: "My house is not selling, should I just put it for rent and try it later?" A: Make sure you have decided to rent the house because you want to be an investor, and not because you were unable to sell your house because of your agent's ineptitude. Make sure you know and have what it takes to be a landlord. 
  • Q:"Should I take it off the market for a little while? A: If you wait to sell your house based on the results you are getting now, is probably a bad decision.The same problems will resurface all over again...later. Solve those problems first, make sure your plans justify the wait and the possibility that you may increase the demand for your house. Remember, as market demand increases, so does your competition.

Fernando you are right on point with this. Price is a factor but its NOT the only factor and there are many things to consider before becoming a landlord like what are you going to do if the tenant doesnt pay or causes damage???
