Your House Did
Not Sell,
Now what?
After a property expires from the MLS, the next steps usually involve evaluating the reasons for non-sale, potentially making changes to the home, adjusting the listing or pricing, and deciding whether to relist with the same agent, try a new agent or explore other selling options.
The three main reasons a house does not sell:
Priced too high
A home priced too high can struggle to attract buyers. Finding the right price is crucial, as an inflated cost may deter interest. A well-priced house is more likely to sell quickly and effectively.
Not presented well
Creating a welcoming atmosphere is crucial when selling a home. Buyers want to envision themselves living there, and making the space feel warm and inviting is key. A welcoming environment leaves a lasting impression on buyers.
Poor/limited marketing
Effective marketing is essential for selling a home. Without it, your property may go unnoticed, leading to missed opportunities. A strong marketing strategy increases visibility and attracts more buyers, resulting in a successful sale.
