6 Reasons Your House May Have Not Sold

Real Estate Agent with The Top Team @ Charles Rutenberg Realty 255 Executive Dr, Plainview NY 11803

Most homeowners that are motivated to sell, want their homes to sell fast.

Here Are 6 Reasons Why Your House May Not Have SOLD...

 

1. Over Market ValueMost sellers want their homes to sell right away, and want to get as much as they possibly can for it.  They don't want to continue keeping it on the market and continue to get it ready to show on a daily basis.  It’s so exhausting!  Everyone wants top dollar for their property, but the reality is you may have to reconsider your pricing. If you price your house to interest a buyer's attention then your house may sell  faster. Hanging onto a price really doesn't work!

 

2. ShowingsAlthough it's exhausting to keep your house show-ready, it has to be easily available to buyers.  If you want as many buyers as possible through your front door, it may have to be seen at different times of the day.

 

3. Curb AppealYou want to catch a buyers attention when they first see your house from the outside.  Keeping the lawn and outside of your home maintained will give the buyer a reason to want to see more. Give them a reason to come in and buy your house!

 

 4. Clean, Clean And Then Clean Again ~ Its hard work to keep your house in show-ready condition every day, but dirty dishes in the sink, clothes scattered around the floors and cluttered bathrooms is a sure way to turn off buyers.  De-clutter now. Pack "stuff" away that you don't use on a daily basis. You're going to have to pack them eventually. As important as curb appeal is, interior appearance is more important. Keep each room simple and clean. Less is more in staging while selling your house.

 

5. Fix What Has To Be Fixed Now ~ All those unfinished projects should be completed before your house is put on the market. A buyer who is interested will deduct the value from little things that they see needs to be done. Don't give them the opportunity to find those unfinished projects.

 

 6. The Marketing Of  Your Property ~ Besides price and condition, the marketing of your residence is of great importance. Online exposure is HUGE!  Buyers start their search on the internet and it's important that your Realtor and your house be found on the web first. Also, make sure all information is listed correctly and there are photos of both the interior and exterior of your house.

 

If your house or condo has been sitting on the market and you have received NO offers, or if you’ve received only low-ball offers, these 5 tips can help you get an edge on the competition and get your Nassau and Suffolk County Long Island house SOLD!

Good morning Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Call 631-805-4400 (c). No matter what, it ultimately comes down to price. I have sold enough property that I have owned to know that for sure.

This is timely advice to share with home sellers. I was going to schedule a reblog but that option was not available.

This is key Larry & Sheila. Price is the top reason but if it is dirty or not well presented it will not have a positive effect on the consumer.

All true points that agents should be conveying to their sellers, either you house will sell or it will help someone else's house to sell.  Must be the best bang for the buck to draw the buyers in, curb appeal and price are 2 big factors.
