We’re in a much better place in real estate than we were in 2007, but pricing homes for sale in Parrish, Florida still plays a part in home sales. Of course, there are other factors to consider which we’ll touch on including marketing, cleaning, and fixing. So, what can you do when your home hasn’t sold? Let’s look at the obvious.
When Your Home Hasn’t Sold
1. Look at the price. You’re real estate agent should discuss whether homes for sale in Parrish, FL are priced too high for the market. In plain terms, how competitive is your listing price to similar homes in your area? Can buyers find other homes that meet the same criteria as yours at a lower price? If this is the case, look at lowering the listing price.
Some sellers are worried that they’ll price their home too low and buyers will think they’re gullible. While some buyers like to think they got a good deal, the truth is they’re just as worried about buying an overpriced home as you are at selling too low.
2. Cleanliness is next to … Some homes aren’t selling because the buyer can’t see through the clutter. Remember, they need to imagine themselves living in a house before purchasing it. Unfortunately, if you have a layer of dust on the furniture or a pile of clothes on the bed, they’ll see that first. I know they should be looking at the house, but they won’t see past the dust. They’ll imagine themselves, or someone they have to hire, cleaning the house.
3. Fix it. Of course, there are two lines of reasoning here. If you’re selling a fixer-upper, you might leave some repairs undone. It’s priced as a fixer-upper because of these repairs – that’s fine. If you want top dollar for your home, it’s a different story. It’s very simple – if it needs fixed, fix it.
4. Marketing. How has your realtor marketed your home? At Reynolds Realty, we take marketing Parrish, Florida homes for sale seriously. Sure, it will go on the MLS, Trulia, and Zillow, but marketing doesn’t end there. There are a number of places to post a new listing, and we keep up with the current trends.
