Sit Vs Sell: Why Your Home Might Not Be Selling

May 19, 2016 by jleonardi Leave a Comment

home-sold-sign

When selling a home there are a few reasons that could cause your home is sit on the market instead of sell. Here are a few reasons why your home might sit vs sell:

  1. Pricing.
    The number one reason homes sit on the market vs sell usually comes down to pricing.
  2. Location.
    Location in real estate is very important. Your homes proximity to airports, roads, contruction sites, etc. can cause it to sit longer than others.
  3. Décor.
    Cluttered, messy, outdated interiors can deter potential buyers.
  4. Photos.
    The photos are like a welcome mat to potential buyers. Having a professional real estate photographer photograph your home is a must. Nothing is worse than bad photos of a home.
  5. Maintenance.
    Keeping your home well maintained and cared for will show pride of ownership.
  6. Relist.
    If you’ve made certain significant changes to your home, than we recommend a listing relaunch if your homes been sitting for a while.
