  • Sell this house!!! My home has been for sale for two years?

    Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under home for sale mls | 4 Comments »

    My contract with my Realtor has expired. Should I change companies
    She has the house listed on MLS we have had lookers but no buyers
    my home is located in one of the top ten school districts in texas It is always clean for viewings and we have fixed all complaints what should i do? This is the second summer that all the houses in our price rang are gone but ours we are less a square foot more acarege and more square feet what could be goin on????????

    You could have the worst Realtor in the area, but if your house has been listed in the MLS for two years the main problem is you. Any house will sell within two years, even in a terrible RE market, if it is priced competitively.

    Why do you think buyers have passed up on your home dozens of times and purchased another? Simple reason, your home was not the best house for the best price. Sounds like it wasn’t even close.

      a history of price reductions would be the most helpful. 2 years is too long and indicates price is too high.

      most sellers want it to be another reason but 99 times out of 100 it is simply price. you should have have decent price reductions every 30 days or so to keep price fresh and create that sense of urgency you need with the buyers. no offers means price is too high.

      Yes, almost always the price is too high. You might need some pretty brutal feedback on your house. If it is clean, what about smells, unpopular colors or artwork, too many knick-knacks, unappealing furniture. Some agents don’t have the nerve to tell sellers that they have to change their decor to get their house sold.

      it must still be overpriced – WE ARE in the worst recession since WWII and near the bottom of the worst housing market in decades
