As a seller who wants to be out of a home, you are going to be thinking, what will help me sell my house faster? There are several things that come to mind.
Your Real Estate Agent
Are you trying to sell your house by yourself? Do you have an inefficient, overloaded, or inexperienced real estate agent? All of these are holding you back. So if you're even asking the question, "Why can't I sell my house?", you probably need to start looking at real estate agent options.
Your Pricing
Price slashing does work, to some extent, when you're trying to get rid of a house. You want to price the home at a value, but not so much that buyers are wary and think there must be something wrong with the place. Use your real estate agent to get better perspective on how to mark down your home.
Staging
The furniture and staging aspects of a home are all part of doing the correct marketing. People will have trouble seeing themselves in a home with mismatched furniture, with tons of clutter, or with a bunch of your personal effects scattered about. Ideally, you would let your real estate agent rent furniture to stage the house with so that it is more widely appealing. Haul a lot of your stuff to a storage space or a storage facility so that you can make way for prospective buyers' imaginations to fill in the space with their own items.
Your Ability to Cut a Deal
Buyers may ask for special favors, such as leaving appliances or furniture, taking money off of the asking price for repairs, and so on. If you're willing to take these deals, you might find yourself a buyer much faster.
Flexibility with Move Out
If you already have most of your stuff moved out, that's all for the better. Hopefully, you are ready to make a move quickly if a buyer needs to move in. Sometimes, buyers will need to move in by a specific date if their lease is up.
There are often more things you can do to get an offer on your house quickly. You will have to decide for yourself where the limits are, and what you are comfortable giving up or throwing in to get a quicker sale. Consulting with a good real estate agent will certainly help out a ton as well.
