Home Sellers: Steps to Take When Your Home Is Not Selling
When home sellers list your house, you’re hoping for an immediate sale. Chances are that you’ve probably heard stories of sellers who put their house on the market and received an over asking price the same day. Those stories can make it even more frustrating when you put your house on the market and it’s sits with no activity for months. If you find yourself in this situation where your home is not selling, don’t panic. All is not lost.
Consider dropping the price
Every seller wants to make as much as they can when selling their house. But if the market can’t bear the price you’re asking, then your house might sit with no activity.
Home sellers in this situation will want to research what steps you would need to take to lower your house’s price in order to bring it down to a new bracket of buyers. If the only way to get showings means that you would have to lower the cost of your house to a price that is below what you owe on it, then you might need to stay in your house until the market changes.
Look objectively at your listing
If you are not getting any showings for your house, look at the listing through the eyes of a buyer. Is there anything in the listing description or listing photos that would keep buyers away from scheduling appointments? It could be that your price is right but you have a poor listing description and poor listing photos, so the buyers aren’t getting a good picture of what’s really being offered.
The easiest step to take here is to consider hiring a professional photographer and stager. If your online listing is not inspiring potential buyers to follow up in person, you need to fix it. A professional stager can help set the home up in a way that brings out the home’s best features.
And then once this is the case, a professional photographer can capture the essence of the home in a way that entices buyers to schedule an in-person viewing.
