When there is no offer coming in from prospective buyers, it is a good idea to start looking into the reasons why. If your house is not selling, it could be a marketing problem. Having the data helps to see what needs to be done to your property with regards to interior décor and appeal. If the house has been on the market for a while, you may need to be competitive more completive in giving a better choice to prospective buyers.
You may also need to remodel your house by repairing and improving its aesthetics. Take many photos of your house and put them up online as well as share them with social media. Post only quality images to attract the right buyers. While taking pictures, don’t just take a few images of the main rooms. Snap all the bedrooms, laundry room, backyard etc.
Take Pictures
Always take pictures which will show your house in a positive frame. If your hallway is narrow maybe avoid posting pictures of it. Take multiple photos of your kitchen because that is a major concern when people are looking to buy a home. Make the dining room attractive by setting up the dining table. Your living room should give an impression of a large space, so don’t crowd the room with too much furniture or knick knacks. Take pictures of the gardens and the backyard. You might need to get help from professional photographers or your real estate agent to give it an appealing look.
Try putting your ads in various places. Consider shooting a video and then try uploading it on YouTube. Make sure you’re also posting on the weekends as this is when most people will look for homes for sale. You should also keep your house open on Sundays for inspection as well. Try to get feedback from the buyers as to their likes and dislikes of the property. This will help you in making minor adjustments to make it better.
Choose the Right Agent
Choose a good agent to sell your house. Select one who can deliver fast results. If you want a large profit, then you should choose an agent who specializes in that area and neighbourhood as they will have the best knowledge of the buyers and proper selling prices.
Try to see how many houses your agent was able to sell at their original price. Make sure that your agent keeps you well informed of any and all developments. Ensure that the agent has a strategy to sell the house. While quoting the sale price of your house, don’t be unrealistic. Otherwise, you may not get the desired result. Overpricing is the worst thing you can do. Try to compare the market rate and quote according to your house location and accessibility. If the demand for the house is more and the buyer market prevails, then price your house accordingly so that you can easily sell it.
Marketing in the correct manner is the most important thing in order to successfully sell a house and to make a reasonable profit. If you’re still unsure about what to do, or if you need help marketing your home, contact Gerry Storoschuk at Bonnyville Homes and get your home sold!
