WHY DO SOME HOMES SELL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHILE OTHERS SEEM TO STAY ON THE MARKET FOREVER?

Apart from changing market conditions, the answer often lies elsewhere. If a property doesn’t sell within the first couple of weeks of being on the market, there is a good possibility the asking price has been set too high.

Another factor that could be deterring buyers is its perceived value based on the internal or external condition of the home compared to other similar priced properties.

The appeal of similar looking or similar presented properties can also vary widely. For example, one house may have a better outlook or better views, or maybe the house at the end of the street may get more traffic noise from a nearby main road. These types of factors and many more will have an impact on the appeal of the property and hence the final selling price.

Buying a home is an emotional decision. Win the hearts of buyers by giving your home a good street appeal followed by a warm and homely atmosphere when they step inside. Then, with a good agent working for you, you’ll have the best chance to get the best price for your home.
