If you’ve been keeping up with Boston real estate market
news, you know that it’s a seller’s market right now! Inventory is low and
buyer demand is high, making it ideal conditions for Boston home sellers.
However, this doesn’t mean that your home will sell no matter what. If buyers
aren’t in a hurry, they’ll hold out for something that better fits their needs
or budget if need be.
As your Boston real estate agent, I am here to fill you in
on some of the reasons why your home might not be selling. See if any of these
may be true for you, if your home is currently listed, or see if any of these
may be true of your house if you sell soon:
Price – What you list your Boston home for is the single
most important factor to whether it will sell. It’s important to note that the
market is what determines your home’s value, not you or your agent. The good
news is that home values are up, so you should still sell for a great price.
They might just not be up as much as you expect. Consider paying for an
appraisal to see what it comes up with. Based on current market analysis, I can
help you determine a price as well. Even if you reduce your asking price, you
could still make out well in the end!
Subpar Photos – The majority of homebuyers are searching the
internet for their next home. That means that it is more important than ever
that you work with a Boston real estate agent who uses modern technology and
professional photography to capture your Boston home as well as possible! This
might mean staging your home to sell as well, which involves taking away personal
items/photos, decluttering, cleaning and staging each room to look as close to
a model home as it can.
FSBO – If you’re trying to sell your Boston home yourself as
a for sale by owner listing, this may be why the home isn’t selling. Working
with a Boston real estate agent allows your listing to show up in many more
places than if you list on your own. More prospective buyers and agents will
see your listing. Plus, an agent knows what you should list it for, how to
stage it, how to market it with quality photos and description, how to
negotiate on your behalf, how to show it when you’re not around, and so much
more. Buyers appreciate working with an agent rather than the seller, and homes often sell for more!

ready to help you with all of your buying and selling needs this fall.
