The date stamp from when a house is listed becomes a bit of a ticking clock. This is not the case with a house that sells fast. Striking the right price to list your a property at the outset is critical to get right. There are a number of reasons why a house may be on the market for a long time.
But I will begin by saying that all houses will sell at the right price eventually. All it takes is a willing buyer and a willing seller. Which translates to mean that a willing buyer will only pay what they think the property is worth. But also means that a willing seller will only accept what they consider their house to be worth. A house that is being marketed at over the current market value will not sell. The only way to sell it is to reduce the price to a more realistic asking price.
There are times of the year when the property market slows right down. December and leading up to Christmas is one of the worst times of the year to list your property to sell. I tell them to hold off listing their house for sale until the early part of the new year. Waiting until the end of February and leading into March and spring can make a big difference to how quickly a house sells.
The problem with listing your house at the wrong time is that it can stagnate. But it is also when property investors swoop in to find a bargain! As we all know, there are ups and downs in the property market. However, even in a slow market, properties will sell. But the only way to beat the market in this situation is to price your house competitively.
Sometimes home owners will extend or improve a property way beyond what it would sell for in a particular location or street. Certain people who are prepared to pay up to a certain budget for a particular type of house will not necessarily consider certain locations.
A property with subsidence is more difficult to sell and may only be suitable for a builder or investor to take on. Properties with subsidence will sell, but need to be priced accordingly. You need to pick an estate agent who is going to proactive. Brexit has cause havoc across many industries and businesses, and the property market has suffered too.
People have put off buy a house due to the uncertainly around Brexit. But with the election of a new prime-minister Boris Johnson and a decision over Brexit, this have begun to move forward once more. But we now have another problem to face, which is the Covid effect on property. Whilst there has been a bit of a surge in property sales, this may not last in the short to medium term.
Compare that to , when the average number of days to sell a home was a whopping While the time on the market has, on average, gone down, there are a lot of individual factors that play a role in how long it takes to sell a house.
For example, demand, seasonality, and local market factors all play a role. So how long is too long, and why does it matter? If your home stays on the market too long without being sold, there can be serious consequences. That means you may have to sell your house for significantly lower than you intended. When you look at listings for homes online, they usually have a part of the listing that shows how long the home has been on the market. After 90 days, most real estate agents deem that property as "stale.
Many buyers see a longer time spent on the market and make assumptions that there's something incredibly wrong with the home. After all, it's human to dislike something that everyone else dislikes. Many home buyers see a longer time on the market and assume that the other home buyers who viewed the property and weren't interested know something that they don't, and just ignore the home altogether.
However, most real estate agents will tell you that it's less likely that the home has major problems or the home of a serial killer and more likely something to do with the economy or the home's pricing. Here are some of the main reasons a home has gone "stale. What's the main cause of a home sitting on the market for forever?
The listing price is too high. Every home will sell at the right price, and if it's the wrong price, then it will just sit on the market for forever.
Buyers most likely jumped when the home was put on the market, and after seeing the property, decided to buy something that was a better value.
Luckily, a home seller with a home on the market for a longer time may be willing to negotiate more on the final price of a home. Along with this high listing price, the seller may be stubbornly refusing to lower the listing price.
Many times, Zillow says, the first offer on a home comes and the buyer is stubborn on the price. Sellers should be willing to negotiate their prices in order to get their home off the market. Sometimes the home just doesn't show well. The seller may need professional designer or staging help. Other sellers need to open their schedules to let potential buyers view the property.
