Struggling To Sell Your House? Read This.

Are you selling your house in Northville, Novi, South Lyon, or Metro Detroit? You want it sold quickly, for top dollar, and without any headaches. But even in a seller's market, pitfalls can sabotage your sale.

According to Zillow, many homeowners took their houses off the market before they sold this year. Avoid becoming a statistic! Here are the top 3 reasons homes don't sell and how a skilled real estate agent (like me!) can help.

1. Overpricing in a High-Interest Rate Environment

While aiming for the highest possible price is tempting, overpricing is a major culprit for stagnant listings. Buyers are savvy. They can access tons of information and easily compare your house to similar properties.

Why is this a more significant problem now? High mortgage rates make buyers even more price-sensitive. An overpriced house can:

• Deter potential buyers: They might not even bother viewing it.
• Increased time on the market Leads to buyer skepticism and fewer offers.

Solution: Work with your agent to analyze comparable sales and set a competitive price that attracts buyers.

2. Neglecting First Impressions

Think "curb appeal" and beyond! Buyers do judge a book by its cover. A fresh, inviting presentation is crucial, both online and in person.

• Boost your curb appeal: Tidy landscaping, a freshly painted front door, and potted plants can make a big difference.
• Set the stage for success by Decluttering, depersonalizing, and cleaning every nook and cranny. Consider a fresh coat of paint in neutral colors.
• Showcase with stunning photos: High-quality photos highlighting your home's best features are essential.

Solution: I can provide expert advice on staging and preparing your home to make it irresistible to buyers.

3. Limited Showing Availability

In today's fast-paced world, flexibility is key. Restricting showing times can significantly reduce your pool of potential buyers, especially those relocating from out of town.

Solution: Make your home as accessible as possible. Work with your agent to accommodate buyer schedules and be open to different showing options.
