First, take a look at the information your Realtor has put in the MLS and make sure it is accurate.
If it is, it sounds like you are not competitive in your price range. Have your Realtor show you other homes at your price and see how yours measures up.
If you are appropriately priced, ask your Realtor what they are doing to market your home. Do you have good pictures and a virtual tour? Flyers? What websites is your home on? Advertising? Are they planning an open house or a brokers tour?
It is a buyer's market, people are taking their time, hang in there. |

We put our townhouse on the market exactly two weeks and five days ago. We had exactly one showing and just got an offer and accepted it today. We're one of the lucky ones.
Just hang in there, it's a slow market and many homes aren't selling. Try offerering some incentives with your home - ie free tv, free mini vacation, etc. |

Six things to remember when trying to sell a house. Location, location, location, price, price, price.
If you or your agent set a price that is out of line with your area's market, you aren't likely to get too many showings.
Homes that are priced correctly usually sell in just about any market. |

rule of thumb is location and price are the main reasons homes do not sell. In to days world this is still a factor;r BUT you need to remember- your competition is now the large amount of homes that are in foreclosure/short sales. This is happening all over the country. You may want to talk to your agent about price reduction to bring your home into price line if it priced higher than the others in the neighborhood. |

Depending on what city you are in, the market is in a downward spin and very hard to sell houses. I had a house on the market 6 months and could not sell it, so I had to rent it out. |

Are you in an area with a slow housing market. Here in Florida, we have a glut of homes on the market. Are you using a realtor? If so, perhaps it is time to have a sit down with them and find out what they are doing to market your home. |

It is not likely that something on the inside of your home is keeping people from walking in.
I would look at the curb appeal, I would look at the MLS listing to see if it could be phrased better, I would look at the price I have set, I would look at any fliers that I have outside and any advertising I have done.
Look at all of this to see if it is enticing people in. Once they are in you will need the house to show very well- but all this stuff is to entice them in.
Don't answer every single question before people see the house. I remember one guy that refused to show his house to anyone until he talked to them for five minutes about how it was impossible to put a pool in his yard.
Don't make showing times restrictive. I remember one lady that had dozens of times during the week that her home could not be shown. I still got her a bunch of showings-but the people that had a tight deadline-that had to buy now-often couldn't wait until it was convenient for the homeowner-they looked at and bought other houses instead.
Your agent should be able to help you with these concerns. They would not be as emotional about the house as you are and could help decide what could help. |

It has to be priced to sell in this lagging market. You also need an aggressive agent that knows your area and will help you in pricing it for the market in your area and who will help you stage it attractively. The market is glutted with houses for sale. The trick is to make yours more desireable than comparable homes in your area. |

That's odd....
How long did you sign with this agent???
I would give a call and tell them to get there butt in gear. |

Hopefully you are using a realtor from your local area. I have run into a couple people who listed with an agent out of their area only to find out that their home wasn't listed in their local MLS. These realtors will list it in an out of town MLS and then it's very hard to get people to look at it. |

Im not sure.. i live in CT and houses are going like crazy where i live.
The market problems you here about are very isolated to specific areas. One town or county may be booming and the next one over could be in a serious correction. Either way, dont worry... its only takes one serious buyer to get the job done. |

Has your home been staged? You don't need a professional, you can do it yourself. There are many websites with good advice. Make sure your outside is in pristine condition. Trim shrubs, cut the grass, put out potted flowers in bright colors. Keep porches swept, windows clean and everything looking attractive.
Maybe it is priced too high? Have you had a realtor do a comparitive market analysis? It will tell you what similar homes have sold for recently in your area. If you aren't working with a realtor, you may want to consider it. Each month you pay another mortgage payment is time and money wasted that could be invested in your new home.
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is to over-price their home from the beginning. They think they will "try" a higher price first. What happens is you end up turning away buyers and your house sits and sits. After several months, people begin to assume something is wrong with your house since it hasn't sold.
Good luck. |
