Who doesn’t want to sell their home quickly? Sometimes, however, homeowners find their home just sits for a while without any traffic. They wait for that perfect buyer that will come along eventually. This is not an ideal situation as your online presence is skipped over because it is considered a stale listing.
Disadvantages of letting your home sit on the market
- Buyers’ agents can inform their buyers how many days the listing has been on the market. Buyers will want to negotiate a lower price
- If your listing is too high in price, you miss out on buyers, as they will lose interest
- You will be responsible for all costs including mortgage, taxes, maintenance, and condo fees
- If you have bought another home, your costs will then double
Your life is interrupted!
Let’s face it – your life is on hold while you are selling your home. You might not be able to buy another home until you sell. You must keep your home in pristine condition and be ready at any time to vacate your home for viewings.
Your home is not as desirable, the longer it sits
If your listing has been on the market for a while buyers wonder what is wrong with it. Did somebody try to buy it and found problems? Were there problems with an inspection? Maybe the sellers are difficult and don’t want to negotiate. These are common questions that may run through a buyer’s mind with older listings.
