6 Reasons why your house won't sell.

This is a great post. If you are selling your home now or in the furture, make note of the points made. It is our opinion that overpricing a home is the #1 reason why a home will not sell.

Via Alan May, Coldwell Banker Evanston Realtor, North Shore Realtor (Evanston Real Estate, Evanston, IL):

1. Your photos are unimpressive. The vast majority of home buyers start their search for a home on the Internet, your house had better look great in print. Not just nice... downright fabulous.  Today we are considering internet views as a 'virtual showing'... if your house gets past that, then they might (just might) make an appointment to see it in person... We consider that your SECOND showing. Today's buyers are expecting good quality photos (and lots of them... just 1 shot from the street won't cut it!), a virtual tour, maybe even a floor plan, if applicable.

(btw... for those who've asked, and have them in their areas... I use Video Home Tours..[vht]... they offer incredible pricing partially subsidized by Coldwell Banker... and it's honestly cheaper to have them do it, than for me to spend my time on photoshop... and they offer professional quality.)

2. It's overpriced. You've got to view your own property as objectively as possible.  Look at the home like a "buyer"... if necessary, go out with your Realtor and view other homes that are priced comparably to yours.  Be objective.  Given the other options on the market (and yes, you DO have to include short sales and foreclosures on your list... your potential buyers are!), would YOU buy your home, over the others on the market?

If no, then you either have to "update" your home to meet or beat the competition... or lower your price to adjust for it.  if you can't afford to sell it for the price, that you KNOW it should sell for, you may want to consider just removing it from the market.

3. It shows poorly. This could mean almost anything... from the barky, barky dog, to the smell of the diaper pail.  Maybe the carpeting is a bit worn, or the woodwork shows a lot of wear.  All things that don't show up on the internet, but whoa.... once you get inside the house... they show up, like a cat-urine-smell on a 95 degree day in New Orleans!

4. You're invisible. Today's buyer comes from the internet, almost exclusively.  Have you (or your agent) simply plopped the property on the MLS, and started praying?  Are you on all the websites...(Trulia, Zillow, Craig's List, Google Base, etc...) all the places that buyers are searching?  If not, you want to be.

5. Your listing is tired and stale on the market. Okay... yes, you overpriced your home initially when you first came on the market 2 years ago.  But since then you have reduced your price almost monthly... constantly chasing the market down.... Now, finally you're truly priced where you should be... but your listing is tired and stale.  Everyone looking for your type of property (ie: 3br/1.1 bath) in your area has already seen it, sometimes twice... and they remember that there was "something" about it that they didn't like... but what they don't remember is... what they didn't like.... was the price.   Time to take the listing off market.  Let it cool off (3-6 months), and bring it back on fresh in the Spring.  Yeah, you'll have 6 mos. worth of holding-costs... but you'll more than make up for it in your purchase price.

btw... Resist the temptation to bring the house back on at a higher price, than when you left the market.  Just "don't do it"!

6. Your house won't appraise. The house looks great... you've finally gotten someone to bring you a bid on your slightly over-priced, but beautiful pied-a-terre.  But the bank appraiser says it's worth $20,000 less than what they've agreed to pay.  Heavy sigh... bite the bullet.... negotiate with them.   If you have to drop the price $20,000 to make it work.... "make it work"... chances are, anybody else trying to buy your house will run into the same problem.

When Is The Best Time To Buy Or Sell A Home

When is the best time to buy or Sell A Home? The short answer to this question is when you can afford it or when you want to move.

Spring and fall are typically the busier time for real estate sales. Those selling in the spring possibly have kids and want to move over the summer holidays. When fall rolls around, people are back indoors more often and might get the idea to move.

Something to keep in mind. If you sell when there is a busy market, you might get more money than in a slow one. However, if you are buying another home at the same time, you might be faced with paying a higher price.

Buying A Home Is All About ..... Location, Location, Location

When buying a home, there is more to focusing on whether there are enough bedrooms, washrooms or is the backyard big enough. A little bit of planning can save a lot of time and money down the road.

For those that rely on public transit, making sure there is a bus stop a short distance away. There might be other things that you require on a regular basis. Make a list of everything and use them when determining if this is the right home for you. These can include recreation facilities, churches, grocery stores, etc.

Thinking ahead a few years can help also. If there are children in the family, a school within walking distance is necessary.

A Real Estate Appraisal Will Save You A Lot Of Time And Money

A real estate appraisal is the first step that must be taken in order to expect a quick sale. An over-priced property will sit unsold wasting your time and money.

Appraising houses is not an exact science. It is merely an opinion of value provided by the appraiser. In most cases, the appraisals of a property will be very close to each other.

Let's use appraising houses as an example. The appraiser will start by selecting 3-4 properties that are comparable to the subject. They must be sales in the same area and have sold recently.

The first thing an appraiser will adjust for is time. They will look at the history of sales for the time period that the comparables cover and an adjustment willl be made. For example, if one of the comparables sold 6 months ago and prices increased over this time period, the subject property will be worth more.

They will continue on by adjusting for lot size, location, square footage of the home, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, garage (if necessary), finished basement and the condition and age of the home. In the end, the appraiser will determine how much the subject property is worth compared to the recent sales.

Real estate is only worth what a buyer will pay for it. This is why you have to look through the eyes of the person that set the price when completing a real estate appraisal.
