During the first quarter of the year, the real estate market is in full steam in great part due to our flawless weather. It’s the time of the year when “snowbirds” migrate south to escape the snow and this year has been extremely busy due to the recent tax code changes and the “polar vortex”.
So, if you want to sell your home or condo, it is important to make sure you are doing the “right” things, to ensure success.
Below, you’ll find the top eleven reasons homes don’t sell and how to avoid making those mistakes.
1. Limiting Accessibility for Showings
If you have general restrictions on showings, many times a buyer will just “move on” if they are not able to see your house/condo and will not try to schedule their showing at a different time. We use a technology called ShowingTime that streamlines the showing scheduling and feedback after showing process.
The answer: When possible, allow showings of your home/condo, when buyers want to see it.
2. Photos/Video
When talking to buyers, they often tell us, they get frustrated when searching online, and see either bad, or very few photos of a property they might be interested in. With nearly all buyers beginning their home search online, if you have bad or few photos, they can skip right over your listing. When it comes to marketing we use tools like: High resolution professional photography, property websites, drone photos, floorplans and video to capture the attention of potential buyers.
The answer: Make sure you are marketing your home/condo with professional photos and video.
