Here’s the most common reasons why your house might not sell.

Asking Price

Every house will eventually sell for the right price. Simply put, if the asking price is too high, it may not be attractive to potential buyers. This doesn’t mean that you should just drop your price though. There are many other factors that affect price, such as condition, location, terms, and market conditions. However, comparable sales of other houses will largely determine the market price for your house.

Condition

The condition of the house and potential concerns about repairs or updates to the house can often impact the ability to sell a house. Many buyers are looking for houses that are in perfect condition, or move in ready condition. Other buyers, such as real estate investors, may seek out houses in poor condition, but they are typically looking to buy a discount relative to the time and cost of repairs.

Location

While it is relatively easy to adjust your asking price or even to make some updates to the condition of the property, there is not much you can do to improve the location of a property. Location can greatly impact property values. If your house is in a less desirable neighborhood, or on a busy street, or where there are lots of other properties for sale, then it can be hard to sell your house quickly.

Market Conditions

Sometimes a shift in the market can impact the ability to sell your house quickly. It may seem like houses were selling very quickly just a few months ago but now houses are taking much longer to sell. Things like interest rates, number of houses on the market, changes to inflation, concern about the economy, and political concerns can also impact the market and your ability to sell your house.

Poor Marketing and/or Representation

Some sellers try to sell their house themselves or using for sale by owner sites, or sometimes even a discount broker or real estate agent. Often times, selling your house in this way can have slow unpredictable results. This can often be due to poor representation of the house online. This may be due to a poor description of the house, inaccurate details in the listing, or just bad pictures or a lack of pictures. The best agents will make sure to get lots of pictures and a very detailed description to get more visibility to the listing. Some agents will even invest in marketing of the property while others use a post and pray strategy that often causes the house to sit on the market for months.
