7 Reasons Why Homes Do Not Sell



7 Reasons Why Homes Do Not Sell
If your home has been on the market for several month and has not seen much activity, chances are that one or more of the reasons below are to blame.

The Price
Is your home priced to reflect the current Real Estate Market condition? One of the most common reasons for a home not to sell is that the asking price has been set too high and prospective buyers will not even come out to see the home. Have you had many showings? If your home has been priced too high, you essentially eliminated many prospective buyers from even looking at your home, simply because your home will not show up in their online home search. Compare your home for sale, to similar homes close by and try to be honest with yourself. If similar homes are selling for less then your asking price, you may be priced too high. Buyers will be looking at several similar homes before making an offer.

The Condition Of Your Home
Another major factor why homes do not sell is the condition of the home. If you go on a job interview the fist impression is very important, the same is true for your home. Did your Realtor feature your home in the best light online? What is the feedback you are receiving on the condition of your home from prospective buyers and buyers agents? Your home is competing against other similar homes for sale, as well as competing against brand new homes.  The more you can do to make your home look appealing to buyers, the better your chances for a quick sale. Keep your home show ready at all times.

Location
Yes Location, Location, Location will always have a major impact on Real Estate. It’s all about location. Put yourself in the Buyers shoes. What was it that you were looking for when you bought a home? Imagine two identical homes, one backing up to a busy road the other one backing up to trees. Which home would you prefer?

Your Marketing Campaign
Is your Agent using the all marketing tools to aggressively market your home? Today’s Home Buyers start their home search online. Is your agent using the latest technology, including social media, blogging, video’s and more to feature your home and getting the word out to buyers and local Realtors? If all your agent has done is put a for sale sign in your front yard and add your home to the local MLS, then your home is not getting the exposure needed in today’s Real Estate Market.

The Real Estate Market
Is the Real Estate Market slow in your area? Even if you are hearing it is a sellers market, your home might be in a price range that is experiencing a slower Real Estate Market or Buyers Market. Are there too many homes for sale that are similar in price and condition to your home? Are there not enough buyers currently looking for homes? There are several things a seller can do to sell a home in a slow market. The bottom line is you have to stand out from the competition. That can be with a lower price, excellent condition of the home, or incentives for the buyer to purchase your home.

Accessibility
In order for your home to get sold quickly it is important that other agents in the area are able to show it to as many potential buyers as possible.  Try to be as flexible as possible with showings. If you have too many showing restrictions chances are that you are missing out on potential buyers. Many Home Buyers work during the day and are only available late afternoon early evening to looking at homes, if you cut off showings at 5 pm you are missing out on these home buyers.

Off to showing homes in the snow. Snow in Dale City, Woodbridge VA

Claudia S. Nelson Realtor with Keller Williams Realty


Snow in Dale City on January 24.2013. 

I will be meeting one of my First Time Woodbridge Home Buyers shortly to show them homes for sale in Woodbridge Virginia. Today is going to be a fun day for showing homes. Growing up in Switzerland I am used to snow, I am used to driving in the snow. Around here things tend to get crazy with a little bit of snow. Today the Prince William County schools are closed. I am sure my friends that are teachers and the kids are happy about that, but most parents aren't happy about the school closing, as they have to struggle to find daycare for their kids or take a vacation day at work. 

Doesn't it look beautiful and so peaceful in the above picture? You would never think that just a little bit of snow can create such a traffic mess for commuters. Although I am currently listening to WTOP and they are saying traffic is flowing so that sounds good.

Happy Dale City First Time Home Buyer

571-285-4319 www.VARealEstateExperts.com
Claudia S. Nelson Realtor with Keller Williams Realty


Another Happy First Time Home Buyer. She closed on this beautiful Dale City Home yesterday. Congratulations. 

This First Time Home Buyer came to me after having worked with 4 different Realtors. She was frustrated and discouraged having lost out on many homes she liked. I started working with her in October of 2012 and she is now a Home Owner. She is paying less on her mortgage payment then what should would have been paying for rent. 

Working with a Realtor that get's the job done and produces results is extremely important in the current Real Estate Market. If you see a home you like online you can't wait for your Realtor to be available. This is a competitive market with limited inventory and buyers competing against each other. The faster you can act the better your chances. Hence you need to work with a Realtor that is available to showing you properties as soon as they come on the market. 

If you are looking to work with a local Real Estate Agent with a proven track record call or email me today

Have you been thinking of buying a larger Home and selling your Woodbridge VA Home

571-285-4319 www.VARealEstateExperts.com
Claudia S. Nelson Realtor with Keller Williams Realty


Homes in Prince William County are selling!

Yesterday I ran into a former client that told me they are thinking about purchasing a larger home. What better time then now. I told my client now is an excellent time to selling your home and purchasing a larger home.

My clients currently own a beautiful Townhome in Woodbridge and they are looking to purchasing a significantly larger Single Family Home in Woodbridge. My clients family has expanded since they first purchased their Lake Ridge Townhome and they are looking for more space. Now is an excellent time to selling their Lake Ridge Townhome and purchasing a larger Single Family Home. Why? Interest Rates are still very low and home prices are on the rise, especially in the lower priced market. So my client is in an excellent position selling their Lake Ridge Townhome at a profit and purchasing their next home.

If you are in a similar situation, if you are looking to sell your current home and purchase a bigger home call me today to discuss how you can accomplish both at the same time:

571-285-4319

What have you been dreaming of in a new home?

- Larger Master Bedroom?
- Luxury Master Bath?
- Gourmet Kitchen?
- Larger Family Room?
- More Bedrooms?
- Larger Basement?

Move up homes are not moving as fast as homes in the lower price ranges and are still priced very competitively. So why wait to purchase your move up home, when now is an excellent time?

Homes for Sale in Woodbridge Price Range 400 k to 600 k

Homes for Sale in Woodbridge Priced 600 k and higher
