Recently, someone came to me and asked why their home wasn't selling. This is a question I hear quite frequently, so today I want to explain why you may be having trouble getting your home sold.

There are many factors that could be preventing your home from selling. Lack of curb appeal or bad location can both have a negative impact, but it usually comes down to price. Overpricing your home is a great way to doom the sale of your home from the start, so it's crucial you put a competitive price on it. There are a few other factors that may play a role in your home sale as well. For instance, the time of year may not benefit your home sale if you're selling in a time period where there's not much foot traffic. Also, if there is a certain mortgage value you need to get out of your sale, you may be holding out for a sale price that will get it.

As long as you keep the price of your home relatively tight, the days on market should be relatively small and we should be able to sell the home pretty quickly. Other factors do play a role, but whether your home sells is typically dependent on how you price it!
