You Might Ask Yourself, “Why My Home Isn’t Selling”

“Why is my house not selling?” Many homeowners ask this question, and it’s a question that has many answers. It could be that your house is too expensive. Another explanation is that the buyers think that it’s not worth their time or interest. It could also be that the property is simply too old or appears to be as such.

It could be any one of these reasons or all of them. In any case, houses that couldn’t be sold isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s as old as the real estate market. So if you are having a hard time to sell your home then here are few things that may explain why that’s the case.

It’s Too Expensive

Any house in any condition can be sold, but only at the right price. If your house is not getting any decent offers then it’s probably because of its price. An over-priced property is defined as any property whose current condition does not justify its price.

For example, a house that needs repairs is not likely to attract a lot of buyers if they are sold at market prices, and this is because buyers don’t like to worry about repair and renovation costs. So they’ll only buy it at a discount. The same is true for old and looking houses. These types of houses look cheap, and so, buyers will only buy them at low prices.

It’s Been Around On the Market For Too Long

Home Buyers will often assume that a particular property is flawed in some way if it has been on the market for too long. After all, if no one wants to buy a house then it’s plausible that there’s something wrong with it. So before you put up that “For Sale” sign, you should first create a plan that will allow you to sell it in a month or two. Any more, and people will begin to suspect that there’s something wrong with your property, in which case, you will be forced to lower the price.

It Makes Bad Impressions

Creating good impressions is important in selling real estate. A bad impression, no matter how wrong or how biased, will convince most buyers to seek other options.

Likewise, a good impression has the opposite effect. If a prospective buyer is impressed by your property then that good impression will stick with them throughout most of the negotiation process, and they will be more likely to offer you a better offer.

It Has Poor Listing Photos

Once you decide to sell your house, you should remember that most buyers find properties on the internet or at the office of trusted real estate agents. So before your buyers can even get the chance to see your property, they will first see a photo of it on the internet or some real estate site. If they like what they see on the photo then they are more likely to buy your house. If not, they will move on to other options.

In fact, listing photos are so important that some real estate agents will even go so far as to hire rental drones to take aerial pictures of their clients’ houses. So if your house is not attracting a lot of attention then you may want to take new photos. This won’t guarantee a sale, but it can help attract more potential buyers, and that’s always a good thing.

It is Uninsurable

Uninsurable houses are often synonymous with bad properties, and this is because insurance companies refuse to insure houses that cannot meet certain basic standards, including electrical, plumbing, roofing and cooling standards.

Another problem is that the only people who buy uninsurable properties are those who have the ability to pay cash and then renovate the house to comply with local insurance standards. Although these types of buyers do exist, there aren’t a lot of them.

Lenders Won’t Lend On Your House

If you can’t get a mortgage then that will harm your ability to sell your house. Thanks to the Federal Housing Agency, only homes that can meet certain standards are considered eligible for mortgages. In other words, if your house or parts of it are in poor condition then you may not be able to get a mortgage for your house and your cash house buyers will consider that a sign that you’re house is not worth buying.

Your House Looks Dark

This reason is not always true, but it’s a problem that many home owners face. Dark homes appear smaller, tighter and more cluttered than they actually are, and this sort of problem can cause buyers to shy away from these kinds of properties.

The best solution for this type of problem is to hire someone to organize your house in a way that makes it appear more spacious or at the very least, more organized. The less clutter a particular property has, the more spacious it appears, even if it’s actually quite small. This goes back to the earlier point about impressions. A spacious house creates very good impressions on potential buyers.

These group of investors were really knowledgeable and helpful in getting our property sold with no hassle. Thank you Jill and Edgar for all your help in making this a quick and hassle free process. We appreciate you were always available to take our calls and that y’all were very professional.

We sold our home with this company and were overall pleased with the process and outcome. The process can be a bit of an emotional roller-coaster (this is primarily due to the nature of the market, not a fault of the company), but Edgar and his team did their best to make it as straight-forward and stress-free as possible. Be prepared to show your home to potential investors and marketers, and be aware that you will probably not receive market value for your home. But if you need to sell your home quickly and don't have the available cash to cover repairs and closing costs, this is the best route to go. We closed within 30 days of having reached out to House Buyer San Antonio, and the funds were transferred to us within 24 hours of closing.

Edgar was very professional with great communication skills. He made the transaction run very smooth as it was a stressful time moving our mother out of her home and into a nursing home.

Sal and the team were great. I was selling a house for my mom, and I was 1000 miles away. I made arrangements to meet several companies and Sal was the most prompt with returning calls and texts. Very important when you need to move quickly. He made an offer that worked and we got the house sold quickly. Selling a home is stressful and there was still stress, but it was mitigated by Sal's flexibility. God is good. Rick.
