Why Haven’t You Sold Your Home Yet?

There are many reasons why you may struggle to sell your home, but the sooner you resolve these problems, the better.

When you place your home on the market, it is likely you are optimistic. Some people sell their house very quickly, and if there is a high demand for homes in your area, you may not have to wait too long to sell your home. However, this isn’t the case for everyone. We all know that the UK housing market has slowed down in recent years, and it may be you haven’t sold your home as quickly as you would have liked.

If your home is still on the market, and you are losing hope of selling it, don’t give up. At Ariston Property, we’ve seen many vendors struggle to attract attention. Sometimes it is down to bad luck; at other times, all you need is a few minor tweaks. If you are wondering why haven’t you sold your home yet, we are on hand to assist you.

It may be you placed your home on the market at the wrong time of year

While there is year-round demand for homes in the UK, not all times are all busy as others. There is also the fact different types of buyers like to be active at different times. Retirees looking to downsize their home more commonly move in summer. However, families will more commonly move home in spring or autumn.

There will likely be a time that is most convenient for you to sell your home, but it is best to aim for the time that appeals to the most like buyer, not yourself.

Does your listing have great images?

High-quality images are essential in attracting attention to your property listing. If you don’t have brilliant photographs of your home that grab attention, you won’t generate interest in your home.

Buyers scroll through property listings, only pausing when they feel compelled. Great images make buyers stop, so make sure you have staged pictures that place your home at the top of the list for willing buyers.

Not all estate agents are the same

You may find the reason you haven’t sold your home is that your estate agent isn’t doing enough to promote your home or engage buyers. If this is the case, you will struggle to sell your home. Not all estate agents offer the same standard of service. Some agents talk a good game, but perhaps don’t follow up with the support you need.

At Ariston Property, we’re pleased to say we have a strong track record in assisting vendors in selling homes, and we look forward to helping you if you need our help.

Is your home ready for viewings?

Some vendors attract buyers to their home but cannot convert interested parties into people making an offer. If this is your situation, it may be your home isn’t ready for viewings. It is one thing preparing your home for listing photographs, but maintaining this image can be a challenging process.

If you have buyers attending your house for a viewing, you must ensure your home is in pristine condition and that you have decluttered the property.
