Why homes for sale in Illinois do not sell

Nearly 15% to 25% of all listings do not sell. The market rejects them. In other words, the Illinois home buyers did not accept the marketing efforts to sell the house, the price the house was listed at, the condition of the house, the location of the house, or a combination of these areas—perhaps all four of them!

The good thing is that you control two of these areas: Price and Condition. Our realtors control one: Marketing Efforts to sell your house.

Condition

A hundred dollar bill is a great metaphor: they all look good, but people will always choose the nice, clean, crisp one over a dirty wrinkled one. How does your house look to others? This is the crucial important difference between Showing condition and Living condition.

 

Price

Being overpriced is usually the reason a home did not sell, but condition will help determine what the market is willing to pay. Remember that YOU control price and condition. The wrong price attracts the wrong buyers. It creates a bad reputation for the house in the market place and makes properly priced homes look even better. Would anyone intentionally put their home on the market to help sell the competition?

 

Location

Nobody can do a thing about their location except to accent the positives and minimize the negatives.

 

Experience

On average, people sell 1-4 homes in their entire lifetime. You really need a team of expert realtors to complete the sale of your house. If you only went to a doctor four times in your entire life, would you go to a doctor that just got out of medical school or would you choose a medical expert with a team that has years of successful experience? Of course you would choose the expert. It should be no different in your home sale. You need the best real estate team in Illinois when selling your house. You need a team of Illinois real estate agents that have a succesful track record in real estate transactions and the customer reviews to back up their online claims. You have found that team!
