Selling a house is difficult, no matter what anyone says. There are so many little rules and ways to go wrong, but don’t worry—we can help. Here are three reasons your home isn’t selling, and what you can do to fix them! High Asking PriceThe most common problem comes with the asking price. Buyers don’t want to pay more than they feel a home is worth, and if your asking price is significantly higher than their assessment of your house, they won’t bother negotiating. If you notice your listing pages aren’t getting many views, your price is likely too high, especially if homes similar to yours are selling. Talk with a realtor about adjusting the asking price—they should have a good sense of the local market as well as the value of a home at a glance. Mediocre Listing PhotosSnapping your own pictures for your listing may sound like a good idea, but not when it results in less interested buyers. It’s worth splurging for a professional photographer, as they know how to frame images to make your home seem bigger and brighter than it is. Dark and muddled pictures are a killer for any listing, so consider contacting a photographer to get better shots. Poor StagingEven though buyers aren’t shopping for furniture, a poorly staged house can make a nice space seem cramped. You may think the fix is to store your furniture while showing your house, but a vacant home can prevent buyers from seeing the potential of a house. The correct answer is finding the perfect medium. Consider renting a storage space for some of your furniture but leaving the “staples.” For example, you might store your living room’s love seat but leave the couch. This declutters the space but allows buyers to envision what the living room will look like if they move in.
