Why hasn’t my home sold? Are there secrets to getting my house sold in today’s market? I hear these questions many times from sellers and while there are some things you can control, there others you can’t. It’s best to focus on what you can change! Click here for more information on Brad Papa’s free seminar – How To Get Your Home Sold Fast

Some things you can control:

Price: Pricing your home over the market value is the number on reason that a home does not sell. The most important factor to consider is that if a home is overpriced it won’t even show up in a buyer’s search! Buyer’s won’t even have the chance to fall in love with your home because it is just out of their range and they won’t even see it listed in their search. 

Condition: Is your home move-in ready? Has it been recently remodeled in a neutral color scheme or are there a lot of fix ups that are needed? The condition of the property can dramatically increase or decrease the price of a home. Check out my other articles for some great tips: Top 5 Tips For Getting Your Home Ready For A Showing or Top Tips For Getting Your Home Ready To Sale  

Availability: You control if a buyer has access to your property, so make sure that when an agent or showing company calls for a potential appointment, you make every effort to rearrange your schedule to accommodate them.

Appliances: Which ones are staying and which ones are going. This is especially important for first time home buyers who may not have certain appliances.

Some things you can’t control, but do affect how quickly your home sells:

Location: Is it in a good neighborhood that is highly desirable? Do you back to a busy street, are you near the train tracks, how close is the nearest grocery store.

Layout: Unless you plan on doing major renovations, the layout is something you cannot change. Here are some of the things that potential buyers might have on their “must have” lists: open floor plan, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and their location, size of rooms and closets  

Yard: A lot of people look for a larger yard, and some are looking for a fence. Others require a deck or patio
