Why isnt my home selling?

March 17th, 2012


Ok,   I have just gone through an interesting situation with a listing of mine----nice home w pool in better than average location.   All things would point to a quick sale in the current marketplace.  I had the home professionally staged and professionally photographed.   Realtor Open House rendered great comments too.   After 83 days, no offers and they decided to take it off the market and re-list later......  What happened during the course of the time it was on the market-----many showings declined.   Also, a price reduction is called for when the market place shifts---if your home compared to others is listed higher and doenst look as good, you must adjust the price----the market dictates price, not the upgrades in the home or the amount of money you have in the home.   Tough facts, but reality just the same.
Bottom line-------if your home is priced right and you are 100% available for showings PLUS the condition is good to excellent---your home will sell.    Let me be the bad guy here---------you must show your home each and every time a request for showing happens--the one you try to rearrange or put off because you dont feel like leaving, could be your buyer!
