Most sellers hope to receive an offer in the first few weeks that their home is on the market. But if your home hasn't gone under contract after 30 days, it's worth asking: What should we change, if anything?
Here are four options to consider:
Change the Property
Let's review feedback from showings. If buyers are mentioning dated finishes, odors, lighting issues, etc., are there small updates that could help your home show better?
Change the Price
If other similar homes are going under contract and yours isn't, a price adjustment might help attract a wider pool of buyers and generate renewed interest.
Change the Presentation
Are the listing photos showing your home in the best possible light? Is our description of your home emphasizing its strongest selling points? Is your home visible online and in person? What can we adjust in our marketing strategy to expand the exposure of your home to more buyers?
Wait
Sometimes, it's a matter of timing. New buyers are entering the market every week, so perhaps we wait for additional buyers to be ready to consider your home. Keep in mind, however, that waiting works best when we have already made any necessary adjustments to the property, price and marketing.
If your home has not sold in 30 days, how will you respond?
