What Can I Do To Sell A House That Won’t Sell?

You may have spent a lot of money on home ads and lowered your prices several times, but no one has called you. Your home may even become an expired listing after a while. But try not to get down, because even if your home doesn’t sell, there are still things you can do.

Put The Sale On Hold

Even though you can sell your home in just about any market, there may be a better time to do so. It might not be a good time right now. You might be selling in the middle of winter, when there are fewer buyers, or during the holidays, when people are looking for deals, or you might have just had bad luck and hit a market slump.

No matter how bad your situation is, if you wait to sell, the odds might change in your favor. For example, in the Northeast, the best time to sell a home is always in the spring. In fact, the spring is much better than any other time of year. Why? In the spring, more people will be looking for a house than in any other season. Homes not only sell faster, but they also sell for more money.

Rent Out Your Home

It can be hard, both emotionally and financially, to decide whether or not to rent out your home.
Figure out if the loss you’d take if you sold the house for less than what you owe is bigger than the loss you’d take if you rented it out.

Insurance is another thing to think about. If you rent out your home, you will have to pay more for insurance, even though you are only covering the structure and not the things inside. Call your homeowners’ insurance company and ask about any rate hikes that will happen if you stop living in the house. This will help you figure out how much you should charge a renter.

Selling to an ‘As-Is’ Buyer

If you want to sell a house that is in bad shape and needs a lot of work, you have a few options. First, you could hire a contractor to fix it up and put it up for sale. But the cost of hiring a contractor might be more than if you just sold the house as-is for less. Not every buyer wants a home that has been fully fixed up. Many investors and first-time home buyers are always on the lookout for a good deal. Keep in mind that there may not be much of a difference between selling a house that has been fixed up and one that just needs small repairs. But if a house is in bad shape, the buyer is probably going to want a bigger discount.

To figure out how much you might be able to get for your home, ask yourself how much it would be worth if it were fixed up and sold on the market right now. Then, take away the amount you think it will cost to fix. Then take off a small amount to account for the buyer’s time spent managing the contractors or doing the work themselves.
