A Common Problem

Many home sellers are faced with a common problem at times, which is that their home has been listed for a number of weeks or months and hasn't sold yet. This problem, as frequently as it happens, can be a surprise for some homeowners who feel that their home should be selling well. But there are things you can do when your home doesn't sell to make it more desirable to potential buyers. Listening to the advice of seasoned professionals like Karyn and Kimberly Schonherz, as well as using some simple ideas can help you when your home isn't selling.

What to Do When Your Home Is not Selling

There are a number of things that people can do when a home isn't selling. From re-evaluating some of the characteristics of the home to re-listing the home for sale in some other medium, there are several options when you're trying to decide what to do when your home isn't selling.

• Compare with other homes Look at the data for homes in your area that are in sale pending status. Your home needs to outshine these homes, so that you can be the next one to go into pending status.


• Condition of the home Take stock of your home's condition. While you may have made repairs and cleaned it up for the sale, it might be out of date, or too decorated. Try painting the walls a nice neutral color to help potential buyers imagine their own design ideas in the home.


• Photographs If your listing doesn't have any photographs of your home, it might be a good idea to add some. Only take pictures of the attractive features of your home, leaving things like small bathrooms and narrow hallways to be discovered after they have fallen in love with other features.


• Extensive marketing There are many different mediums for advertising a home for sale these days. Taking advantage of the newspapers, Internet, and other media can only help you when selling your home.


• Re-evaluate the price If your home isn't selling, it may be time to re-evaluate your asking price. It may be too high or too low, and those polar opposites can easily make people hesitate to even look at your home.

Selling your home can be hard and when it doesn't sell, you may not know what to do. Hire a professional, seasoned realty agent like Karyn and Kim Schonherz before doing anything else, and make sure you've considered every aspect of your home when it fails to sell.
