Selling your home can be an exciting time. If however your home has been on the market and hasn’t received much attention for some time now, you may become discouraged. Though there are several reasons why a property may not move (which we will be discussing in greater detail in this article) you must keep in mind that economically we are in the process of recovering from a recession. Though the market has stabilized and is in fact slowly getting better, the chances of selling a property over night are slim.
That being said, the housing and condo market in Edmonton, Alberta has been recovering much faster than other cities in Canada.
The reason your home may not be selling could very well be right in front of you. It’s easy to become so accustomed to your home that you may lose perspective. It is always a good idea to take a step back and analyze/compare your home with certain standards. There are six basic reasons why your home may not be selling.
Reasons Why a Property My Not Sell:
Get Help: The first thing to do is to enlist the aid of an experienced Realtor. If you’re hesitant or insistent on trying to sell your home with a private listing, think on the following: a good Realtor can get you 7-20% more than a private sale (dismissing the notion that you save money with private sales), you don’t have to market your home yourself, you get the expertise of someone how knows what they are taking about.
Listen to Advice: Your Realtor has one job, to sell your home. Take their advice and expertise to heart. Do not be surprised if your real estate agent makes several suggestions concerning repairs, upgrades or the cosmetic appearance, this is done in order to make the property more appealing for potential buyers and will typically get you more money for the home. On the subject of money, it is important to understand the market value of your home and what you can realistically expect to get. Many people are misinformed on the current market value of their home and are still under the impression that their property should be worth as much as it was during the boom. Unfortunately the economy simply is not what it was and the housing market has gone done significantly. Do your research and take the consul of your real estate agent.
