Why Homes Don't Sell

 

You might have noticed that some homes in Athens seem to sell the second that they hit the market and others can take weeks or months to sell.

A lot of this has to do with the real estate agent, and some of it has to do with the communication between the seller and the agent. Last year my team managed to sell 70% of our listings in less than two months, and 80% in less than three months.

With this being said, here are a few reasons why homes don't sell:

1. If a home does not show well, it will not sell well. You need to make sure that your home in Athens is in tip-top condition and that it is not in a state of disrepair. If your home is dirty or simply not in good condition, it will still sell, but not for top dollar.
• Be sure not to forget about landscaping either. The exterior of your home is what draws buyers inside.
2. The price of your home is another crucial factor. You need to have a competitive and attractive price for your home to draw buyers to your property. You should consult an experienced real estate agent that can gauge an accurate price for your home that reflects it's true value and is also consistent with market conditions.
3. If your home isn't marketed aggressively to a large amount of prospective buyers, then it will not sell well. You need a qualified agent with various systems in place to get your home seen by as many people as possible. Another aspect of marketing is hiring a professional photographer to capture great photos of your home. Staging is also important, but if your home looks great online, then buyers will likely come asking for more.

These are a few reasons why your home in Athens may not be selling. Every case is different, but I have found that these are common factors for homes not selling.

If you're having trouble selling your home in Athens, then please contact me via phone or email. I would love to speak to you personally and figure out what we can do to get your property marketed and sold.

Update on Foreclosure Properties in Athens

If you live in Athens, you might be watching the market and trying to find a good foreclosure property to purchase. In this short video I will give you an update as to what is happening with foreclosure properties in our local real estate market here in Athens.

• In 2011 there were 1,035 foreclosures that sold in the Athens MLS.
• In 2012 there were 980 foreclosure properties being sold.
• 2013 saw only 602 foreclosure properties sold, which is around a 40% decrease from 2011.
• In the first quarter of 2013, there were 168 foreclosure properties being sold here in Athens.
• In the first quarter of this year, that number dropped to 110.

You can see that the number of foreclosures in Athens is decreasing as the market rebounds. We have seen much more new construction this year, and that is a sign of further improvement.

If you're thinking about buying a foreclosure property there are still some out there, and we know where to find them. We have marketing in place to catch motivated sellers that just want to get out quickly. You have the chance to buy these properties before they even hit the market.

Please feel free to contact me if you're looking for a foreclosure to buy. Also, don't hesitate to ask me about Athens real estate if you are looking to buy or sell other properties. I am always willing to meet with you and discuss your individual needs.
