Are you trying to sell a home thatʼs just not selling?

If youʼve been waiting —and waiting—for your home to sell, maybe itʼs time to try new strategies. Sure, no one can control the housing market, but some problems are absolutely up to you to fix. Here are some ways to adjust your home-selling strategy to attract more buyers and finally get your home sold:

1. Adjust Your Asking Price

Mispricing your home is one of the easiest home-selling mistakes to make. It can be difficult to separate emotions from the facts about a homeʼs worth. To put it simply, your home is worth what someone will pay for it. The best way to get an idea about that number is to compare recent sale prices of homes like yours in your area and A real estate agent can do that research by doing a comparative market analysis (CMA).

2. Restage for Buyers

Okay, another area to consider is your home itself. If it isnʼt showroom-ready by the time the for-sale sign goes up in the yard, thereʼs work to be done! For ideas on what to restage, here are the rooms considered to be the most important to buyers: Living room (47%) Master bedroom (42%) Kitchen (35%) If you put extra effort into restaging, it may be just what your home needs to attract serious buyers.

3. Fix Home Issues

Not fixing serious issues will leave you with a small number of buyers—namely, house flippers who will lowball you for pennies on the dollar. If youʼre financially stable enough to take a hit, slashing the price to get it sold might not be so bad. Otherwise, consider fixing the issues to appeal to more buyers. For example, make sure these parts of your home are in good shape: Electrical system, HVAC system, Plumbing, Windows, Roof.

4. Beef Up Your Marketing

The best form of marketing for a home is through a magical online database known as the “Multiple Listing Service” (MLS). The MLS is a little different than home listing websites like Zillow and Trulia because itʼs exclusively managed by real estate professionals—who are scratching and clawing to match the right buyers with the right sellers. A beautiful MLS listing should bump up your requests for home showings. 5. Hire a Top-Notch Real Estate Agent. If your home is priced right and staged well but still isnʼt getting showings or offers, your real estate agent could be the problem. You want a full-time, high-quality real estate professional who has your best interest and will do everything to get you the most bucks for your property.
