Often I’m asked this question, why hasn’t my house sold yet? There are no simple answers. There are many factors that will influence my response. First, there are things about everyone’s property that come into play. Some of which we have no control over, such as, where the house is located, how big or small it is what style house is it. These are things we can’t change and factors that will influence many buyer’s decisions. Secondly, what is the current state of the Real Estate market in your area? Is it favoring the buyers or sellers, how many similar homes have sold recently, how many similar homes are on the market that you are competing with. Thirdly, there are many factors that we do have control over. How are we priced in relationship to the competition. Important to remember we are not the only home buyers will be considering, do we stand out as being special. We can do something about the condition of the property, is it clean, well maintained, not cluttered. Have you taken advice and done some basic staging. Is it always available to be shown, even on short notice. In the end, I always suggest that you don’t spend time on things you have no control over, but do pay attention to those things that you can change.
