My house is not selling – what can I do?

My house is not selling – what can I do?

No matter how wonderful a house is, there is always a chance of it staying on the market for longer than anticipated. In fact, it probably has nothing to do with the house itself, but various other external factors which can be easily addressed. If your house has not sold yet, here are some key factors worth considering.

Is the asking price right?

An incorrect asking price could be the main thing impacting your moving plans. Getting the price right on your home can make all the difference when it comes to attracting a suitable buyer.

Do the photos do the home justice?

The Farmhouse

Good staging and great photography are absolutely integral to the marketing of your home. The blurry resolution, dull lighting and unimaginative angles are all elements that make up a watered-down representation of what your home actually has to offer. Potential buyers often start their property searches online, so their first impression of your home is through photographs. Without that ‘wow’ factor that some photographers are able to capture, it is easy for a property to get lost within the masses of listings.

Is the kerb appeal lacking?

Tranwell House

First impressions count, and therefore your home’s frontage needs to be as memorable as possible for all the right reasons. Some buyers make up their minds about a home within minutes, and this is because the exterior tells you a lot about the overall maintenance and appeal of a property. If the outside of your home is not looking its best, invest some time into jet washing, repainting, mowing, and tidying as required. Simple steps like moving wheelie bins out of sight and removing smudges from the windows can make all the difference. Good kerb appeal tells potential buyers that your home has even more to offer inside.
