Is Your Joliet Home Listing About To Expire?

Your home has been on the market for a number of months, you have endured strangers traipsing through your living room, you have made your bed each day, kept the clutter picked up and washed the floors multiple times a week.  You are ready to move and frustrated that your Joliet home has not sold.  You have enjoyed your home but you are ready to hand the keys to a new owner, so why is it that no one has offered to buy your Joliet home?

At this point you are probably searching the internet looking for a new Realtor to sell your Joliet home because your current one has not secured a buyer.  So why is your home still sitting on the market?

Do you really want the truth?  The real reason that your home has not sold is PRICE.  Your home is overpriced for the current market.  Your home is overpriced for its size, location and condition. In the current Joliet real estate market, buyers are searching for the best value and your home does not fit the bill.

Your Realtor might have suggested a price reduction, but you were convinced that buyers would appreciate the many upgrades to your home and pay your price to live there. You stuck to your guns and refused to reduce the price.  Now the expiration date of your listing contract is looming your Joliet home is still sitting unsold.

So what now?  Pricing is the number one key to selling a Joliet home in any market, but in this current market it is crucial.  In addition to pricing, aggressive, extensive, creative marketing is necessary to attract buyers who are overwhelmed with dozens upon dozens of options. 

You need a Realtor who can get those buyers through the door and you need to price your home to be the best value.  Selling a Joliet home is not rocket science, but it is hard work.  It takes extensive market knowledge, appropriate pricing and great marketing.  You must work as a team with your Realtor and soon you will have a buyer, ready, willing and able to purchase your home.
