WHY HAS MY HOME NOT SOLD?

So your home has been on the market for sometime now and you've had very little activity. Well, I think at this point it is safe to say we are pretty deep into a buyer's market. Many of you trying to sell are still in denial about what your property is actually worth. Is your agent being honest with you when discussing the issues or is everyone just sitting there with the "wait and see" philosophy? If so, here is a list of reasons you may still be sitting on your property as new mortgages numbers begin to head upwards.

1. It's obvious your property is overpriced, sit down and have a frank discussion with your realtor about what price your home will sell for today.

2. Your home does not show well, a good realtor can help you with staging your home for sale.

3. Your home is not in a very desirable location, what you perceive is not always what a buyer perceives

4. Your listing agent is not doing all they can to sell your home.

5. You have very stiff competition and many other listings in your area.

6. Ineffective Marketing, is your agent doing everything they can to get your home's information out there? It's a new world out there when it comes to marketing, especially with Internet options today.
