Why Homes Don’t Sell

When a house stays on the market too long, there are generally three things at play:

 

Price
We’ll prepare a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to show what similar homes in your area have sold for recently. That helps us suggest a listing price that maximizes your return—but still appeals to buyers.

​

Condition of the Home
First impressions matter. Homes that are clean, clutter-free, freshly painted, and well-maintained tend to attract more showings. Make sure appliances work, the roof is in good shape, and mechanical systems are sound. Don’t forget curb appeal — landscaping, exterior paint, and cleanliness count.

 

Location
Even a beautiful, well-maintained home can struggle if the surrounding area has issues. Keep in mind your neighborhood’s surroundings and how they impact buyer perception. Noise, nearby properties, and general visibility can all influence how attractive your home seems.

Tips to Make Your Home Sell Faster

• Be realistic on price: when a home is priced right, it generates more interest and often sells more quickly.

• Spruce up the condition: minor repairs, a fresh coat of paint, clean carpets — these can go a long way.

• Boost curb appeal: first impressions count! A well-kept lawn, clean entryway, and tidy exterior matter.

• Be flexible with showings: the more available your home is for visits, the more likely you are to attract serious buyers.
