What can I do if my home isn't selling?

Ask yourself the following questions to determine the reason why your home is not selling:

1. Is my home correctly priced? Correctly priced homes will sell much quicker than those that aren't. You should be able to use a comparative market analysis to compare your listing price to recent sales of comparable properties and adjust the number accordingly.

2. Should I do minor upgrades to make the property more attractive? In some cases minor upgrades like a fresh coat of paint or a garden spruce-up can make a big difference in how your property is perceived by buyers. You may also want to stage your home or make any repairs that could be holding buyers back from purchasing it.

If it’s been a long time, you may be able to switch real estate agents or sell a different way. Be sure you choose an agent with plenty of marketing know-how and local connections. This will help increase your home’s visibility and its chance of a profitable sale.
