If your listing has expired and your house didn’t sell, it's totally okay to feel a bit frustrated and disappointed. It's natural to wonder what might have gone wrong. Here are three questions to consider as you figure out your next steps.

Did You Limit Access to Your House?

When it comes to selling your house, a major no-no is limiting the days and times for potential buyers to check it out. It's crucial to be open and flexible with your schedule, even if it means feeling a bit stressed about dropping everything and clearing out when buyers want to pop in. Remember, the more access buyers have, the better the exposure for your home!

When you've got serious buyers who are traveling a long way to check out your place, it's important to be flexible with your showing schedule. Offering limited times might make it tough for them to plan their visit. Try to make your house available as often as possible to cater to their needs. After all, if no one can see it, how can you expect it to sell, right?

Did You Make Your House Stand Out?

When you're selling your house, remember the age-old advice: the first impression is key. It's not just about staging the inside; the outside matters too. Spruce up your landscaping to enhance your home's curb appeal and make a strong initial impact.

““After all, if people drive by, but aren’t interested enough to walk through the front door, you’ll never sell your house.””

Hey, don't just stop at the front door with your preparations! When you take out personal stuff and declutter inside, it really helps buyers envision themselves living there. And a new coat of paint or a deep floor clean can do wonders in making the house more appealing to potential buyers.

Did You Price Your House at Market Value?

Setting the right price is crucial. I know it's tempting to try and get as much as you can, but if you overprice your house, it could actually put off buyers and make it take longer to sell.

““Pricing a home too high could lead to a slower sale or force the seller to drop their price.””

— Forbes

Hey there! If you've priced your house higher than similar ones in the area, it could turn off potential buyers and make it take longer to sell. Keep an ear out for what people are saying at open houses and showings. If you hear the same feedback from lots of people, it might be worth considering lowering the price.

If you want all this valuable information and much more, just turn to a reliable real estate agent. A good agent can provide expert guidance on how to relist your house with effective strategies to get it sold.
