If your home isn’t selling, but other homes in the area are, you want to know the reason why. You and your agent should be able to review the market and come up with ideas why your home isn’t selling. There may be an issue with the local area, there may be a lot of houses for sale in the market, or there may not be a significant number of buyers. It may even be that your home is priced too high.
However, if it isn’t any of these reasons, you may feel as though there isn’t any reason why your home isn’t selling. Of course, there may be a shocking and surprising reason your home isn’t selling or generating interest.
Your home may be too cheap
You would think if your home had a low value, you would have a lot of interest. Savvy buyers seeking a bargain would surely see your home as the ideal option when it comes to affordability and value for money. However, this isn’t always the case, and you may find buyers ignore your property listing.
Don’t sell your home with a nine at the end, round up
Over the years, many industries have thrived with price tags ending in a 9. This style of pricing subconsciously makes people think they are getting a better deal. The reality is they may only save a penny or a pound, but the psychological difference may be enough to grab attention.
However, in the digital era, some of the benefits are lost. Buyers set price parameters starting and ending in 0’s, which means that your property price may lie outside the parameters, suitable customers. Equally, your cost will lie at the maximum of the parameter where it sits, so your home will come across as one of the more expensive for a buyer.
