Reasons Why Your Home is Not Selling

It’s always a pain when you can’t sell your property as quick as possible. Are you too worried that you may not be able to move until you sell it or are you still paying monthly mortgages while the home is still on the market?

Here are the Top Five reasons why your home is not selling:

1. Overpriced

A lot of homeowners will sell their property at a high value thinking it’s a good idea, but waiting for that potential buyer may take some time.

Think of the buyer’s perspective-they will always look for a home that offers great value.

2. Poor Staging

Buyer’s first impression will always matter. If your house is dirty and full of clutter, it’s going to leave a bad impression for potential buyers. Make sure to clean and tidy up your house before showing it for sale. It’s also worth to note that effective home staging uses furniture and decors that will impress buyers.

3. Too Personal

You probably like your stuff, but some don’t. All those personal photos on your wall and trinkets up on those shelves should be put away. Remember, having too much of your stuff lying around gives the illusion of making the house smaller and decreasing its value.

4. Outdated features

The more repairs needed, the less likely a buyer will want your house. Potential buyers do not want to spend their time, money and effort just to replace worn out carpets and old appliances. It is your responsibility to update your home.

5. Pets

If you own a pet, you’re probably accustomed to their smell. Most people, however, are sensitive to it. Make sure to clean your home and eliminate any traces of pet odor before inviting buyers to come see your property.
