Why Isn’t Your Home Selling?

It can be very frustrating when your home doesn’t sell. Why is it just sitting on the market?

I have a list of four common mistakes people make when tying to sell their home.

1. Overpricing - Pricing correctly is crucial when it comes to selling your home. If you overprice, buyers will completely disregard your home. The longer it sits on the market, the more buyers think there is something wrong with it.
2. Accessibility - Don’t make it hard for your buyer to come view your property. If they have to keep rearranging the appointment, they will give up on and move on to a different home.
3. Privacy - Buyers don’t want the seller to be present while they are looking at the property. They don’t feel fully comfortable.
4. Staging and ‘declutter’ - Did you know that 90 percent of buyers start their search online? That’s why you need good photographs of a clean, spacious home to entice buyers to come view your home.

These are you just a few of the common mistakes people make when trying to sell their home. If you have any questions about your home specifically, give me a call! I’d love to help!

Staging Your Home in Greater Lowell

Thanks for watching my video blog!

I want to address an issue that comes up all the time with my clients. People always ask what they should do to improve their home before putting it on the market.  That’s a great question.

Anytime you’re selling your home, you want to make sure it’s clean and you have it staged. Your home is going to be competing with lots of other properties; you really want to enhance your home by giving the best presentation possible.

We get asked what can be done to increase the value of a home. Painting is an inexpensive way to get a return on your dollar.

It’s also important to know your financial situation. If you’re equity is just about even and very low on cash, at the very minimum you want the home to be very clean.

If you do have equity and want to elevate your position in the market, you can take it to the next level: you can get a home inspection. You always want to make sure the most important elements of your home are taken care of. If you can afford to upgrade those elements that are damaged and outdated, you can really save yourself from having a buyer try to negotiate down.

If you have any further questions regarding what you need to do to get your home ready to sell, please give me a call. I’d love to help! Thanks for watching!
