I can’t sell my house!
In a buyer’s market, it is especially important to make your house stand out from the rest.
Here are some tips
- Look at the pending and sold properties in your area. These are the properties that are attracting buyers. How does your house compare? Do you need to paint or put in new flooring?
- Photographs – make sure that the photographs of your house that are used in any marketing are complimentary and shot in good light. Reduce any clutter and make your home appear spotless and roomy. Don’t take pictures of small areas, focus on the kitchen. Remember to include your backyard and garden area.
- Marketing and advertising – send postcards to area neighborhoods, put out open house signs on the weekends, get your house listed on the internet.
- You hired the wrong real estate agent. Make sure to choose a real estate agent that is professional and experienced in selling houses in a buyers market.
- You home is not price to sell. You don’t want to give your house away, but you need to price your house right in order to sell. Don’t inflate your price so that you can show price decreases, price it to sell right from the start. Consider putting your list price just below the last sold house in your area that is comparable to your house.
