Why is my home not selling?

Posted on: Tuesday, December 19, 2017


Waiting for an offer to come through on your home can be tense, but there are plenty of things you can do if your house isn’t getting any good offers. Changing the price - this was the number one recommendation from Guild agents. Most people won’t view a property if they think it is overpriced. If your property has been on the market for over 12-15 weeks with at least 15 viewings, it may be time to change the price.

Well-presented homes in a good quality condition tend to sell the fastest. The viewer can imagine themselves moving in right away, making it more attractive. Has your agent been putting in a lot of work? If yours clearly isn’t, it may be time to change. A good agent, like a Guild Member, will work proactively to sell your home. They’ll present your home perfectly through photos and brochures, and will know the local market really well. Listen to feedback - agents should be able to offer feedback after an unsuccessful viewing. Ask to hear all their advice and act upon it to achieve the sale.
