💡 Tips For Buyers
Why Your Home Isn't Selling (And How to Fix It)
If your home has been listed for weeks with little activity, the issue may not be the house itself but how it’s positioned in today’s market.
Buyers now have more options, and they’re taking their time. Here are the most common reasons homes stall and what you can do about them.
Review recent sales from the past month, not six months ago. Conditions shift quickly, and accurate pricing creates momentum.
Most buyers begin their search on the internet. If your photos are dark, outdated, or taken on a phone, buyers may never schedule a showing. Professional photography, virtual tours, and thoughtful descriptions make a huge difference in how your home is perceived.
With higher borrowing costs, buyers want move-in ready homes. They’re less willing to take on projects, even small ones. Simple updates can make your home stand out:
Fresh, neutral paint in main living areas
Updated fixtures and hardware
Deep cleaning, especially carpets and grout
A refreshed front door and tidy landscaping
Just putting your home online isn’t enough anymore. Strategic exposure through social media, email campaigns, and local networking helps your listing reach the right buyers. The more targeted the marketing, the stronger the demand.
With the right approach, your listing can move from overlooked to in demand.
