Your home listing is up, the house is clean and ready, the doors are open!<\/span><\/p>\n

People come and people go, but yet it is NOT selling!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

Selling your Edmonton home is a huge decision and your home holds a lot of sentimental value to you. So when your home isn\u2019t selling the way you think it should be \u2026 it can create a frustrating and stressful home selling experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So you\u2019re left thinking \u2026 WHY is my house not selling?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some reasons why your house isn\u2019t selling the way you want it to :\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Your home is overpriced\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pricing a home can be complex as there are many factors that need to be considered to come up with your home\u2019s market value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using accurate sales data from comparable homes in the area is the first critical step in evaluating your home. However, getting pricing strategy help from an experienced real estate agent, can drastically help you in one of the most important steps of listing your home for sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Esposito Team has many years of expert experience in selling Edmonton homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Professional photography goes a long way<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

First impressions are EVERYTHING. One of the first things home buyers do when looking for a home is check out the listings photos. If you don\u2019t showcase how beautiful your home is, then why would people want to go and see it? Show it off in the best light possible!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Home staging may make all the difference<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A properly staged home can<\/span> sell for 17% more on average <\/span><\/a>\u00a0than a non–staged home! Important changes to make include, removing personal items and clutter, keeping a neutral and timeless decor, and never putting an empty home on the market! Buyers want to be able to envision themselves living there – if they can\u2019t they\u2019ll look elsewhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Marketing is everything\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Details are essential!! It is important to understand how to market your home to potential buyers. What may not be a critical house detail for you, can be something home buyers want to hear. The Esposito Team has a <\/span>proven highly successful marketing strategy<\/span><\/a> that sells Esposito listings 32% faster than the average Edmonton listing!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. You\u2019re getting bad advice\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve done the research and asked around for some help, but is that enough? Getting your advice from a real estate expert significantly improves your house selling strategy and likelihood of your house selling and selling faster. Be sure to <\/span>read reviews on potential real estate agents <\/span><\/a>to make sure they are the right fit!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
