Finding the right home is one of the biggest challenges for potential buyers today. Right now, the supply of homes for sale is still low. But there is a bright spot. Newly built homes make up a larger percentage of the total homes available for sale than normal. That’s why, if you’re craving more options, it makes sense to see if a newly built home is right for you.

If your listing has expired and your home didn’t sell, it's completely normal to feel a mix of frustration and disappointment. Understandably, you're probably wondering what may have gone wrong. Here are three questions to think about as you figure out what to do next.

Did You Limit Access to Your Home?

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when selling your home is restricting the days and times when potential buyers can tour it. Being flexible with your schedule is important, even though it might feel a bit stressful to drop everything and leave when buyers want to see it. After all, minimal access means minimal exposure to buyers. 

Sometimes, the most determined buyers might come from far away. Since they’re traveling to see your home, they may not be able to change their plans easily if you only offer limited times for showings. So, try to make your home available as much as you can to accommodate them. It's simple – if no one’s able to look at it, how will it sell?

During challenging times, like what we face today, it becomes even more important to have an expert you trust by your side to help guide you through the process. If you’re considering selling your home right now, let me share the value of working with a true real estate expert.

Recent studies from the National Association of REALTORS have shown that, even before COVID-19, the first step 43% of all buyers took when looking for a home was to search online. Throughout the process, that number jumps to 97%. Today, those numbers have grown exponentially. A true real estate expert has developed a strong internet and social media strategy to promote the sale of your home.
