3 Possible reasons why your "for sale" sign is still showing

There are many reasons why leaving a home is a difficult thing to do, especially if it is filled with fond memories like watching your children grow up. Unfortunately, memories don't sell, and it is up to sellers and their agents to ensure that the home that goes onto the market attracts the attention it deserves.

Do you find yourself in a situation of not being able to sell? And asking yourself "why is my property not selling? 3%.Com Properties understands that selling property can be stressful and a difficult process.

Here are 3 possible reasons why your house just won't sell:

Price

The pricing for your home is too high, which is not relative or similar to properties in the area or on the market. It is always a good idea to get assistance from an agent to do a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) or 3%.Com Properties can offer to do a free valuation through FNB by an independent professional valuator.

By conducting a CMA or free valuation from FNB, you are able to obtain the right price and value for your property. This is a realistic and factual market value of your property. By not doing this, you run the risk of your property being listed with the incorrect price or underselling your property.

Photos

It is possible that the photos of the property, are not of the best quality. First impressions always last and when a possible purchaser finds your listing, you would like to keep a lasting memory of how your property looks. And, you would want the possible purchaser to say "Wow" and not scroll to the next property.

A picture says a thousand words, so make sure not to leave out detail. Even though there are videos of properties, people still want a physical viewing. Before taking photos, take time to patch up the property, whether it is a new fresh coat of paint and/or attending to leaks.

Simplicity and clutter

When the right price is set and professional photos have been taken, ask yourself this - is this home ready for a potential buyer? Meaning, view the property as if you were to buy it with an open mind.

Without having this thought, you may miss that your house looks bland or cluttered. Other times your house may be a little too eccentric in aesthetics, which can also put off potential buyers.

It is good to remember that you're not selling the house you want to live in, but the house the vast majority of the market wants to live in. Getting that wrong can make your wait for a buyer a long one.

Conclusion
