We buy houses for cash in Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, Bucks, Montgomery, Berks and Lehigh counties. Sell your home today!As a home seller in Philadelphia, there is nothing more frustrating than having your home sit on the market for many months without an offer in sight.  This can lead to the most common question homeowners have: “Why isn’t my home selling?” We buy houses for cash and are experts in the local real estate market. Here are some of the reasons your home may not be selling, and tips on how to sell your home:

  1. Your home is not ready for a sale.

If your home is in need of renovation, it may be difficult to sell. But if you haven’t done basic maintenance or cleaning, selling may be even harder.   Mold in the kitchen and bathroom, grass up to your knees, walls with stains, unpleasant smells, and piles of clothes, dishes and toys will all turn potential buyers away.

It is important to treat your home as a product during the selling process.  Your home will not sell itself–you need to put time and effort to make it more appealing to buyers, in order to sell your home fast. Cleaning and de-cluttering is a must and small repairs that can be easily made help too. If you don’t know what to do to get your home ready to sell, attend some open houses in your area. This will give you a chance to see how other people present their homes for sale.

If you don’t have the time or the budget for a renovation or proper cleaning, there is another option.  At Home Cash Guys, we buy houses for cash as-is. So there is no need for repairs, cleanups, marketing, or showings. You can get started here.

  1. Your home is overpriced.

Your home might be the biggest, or best looking home in the neighborhood, but if it’s overpriced, you will not quickly sell your home.

Many sellers price their home based on what they think their home is worth or what they need to get out of it. Many people think, “I can sell my house for top dollar,” only to have their home sit on the market for months. Another possible reason your home is overpriced is because you haven’t had it appraised recently.  If the price of comparable homes in your area has changed, then it’s time to get up to date and price your home accordingly.  Otherwise, you may not sell your home quickly.

If you’ve gone more than a month or so without an offer, it’s time to be realistic about your sale price.  Otherwise, potential buyers are going to lowball you because they know other buyers are not interested. Dropping the price to a fair market value will help your home sell faster, but you may want to look into another option as well. At HomeCashGuys, we buy houses for cash and offer top dollar.  We don’t take commission, we pay closing fees and we close fast–all of which adds up to more money in your pocket.

  1. Your home is not marketed well.

Although it’s tempting to hire a real estate agent to do the marketing for you, sometimes even that isn’t enough.  If your home isn’t in good condition, a real estate agent isn’t going to devote time to your home.  Yes, they are going to take the listing, but only because they’ll get a commission.  Instead, you can sell your home as-is to a cash home buying company—no marketing required.

  1. The listing photos aren’t any good.

One of the most important things you can do is take quality photos of the home you’re selling. A professional photographer can be expensive, but it may be worth the money. Even if you don’t hire someone, it’s important to clean and organize your home so it looks nice in the pictures. Make sure the lighting is good, and capture all the main features buyers will want to see. The pictures should be high quality, and highlight the best aspects of the house. Having appealing pictures will entice buyers to come view the home and hopefully fall in love with it.

Getting good photos can be time-consuming though, and there is another option. At Home Cash Guys, we buy ugly houses and houses in need of cleaning or renovation as-is. So if your house isn’t the most photogenic, a company that buys houses for cash may be the best solution for you. You won’t have to worry about taking pictures because they’ll buy your home as-is—no cleaning up, organizing or staging required.

  1. You hired a real estate agent.

Maybe you felt that you had to turn to a real estate agent to sell your home.  But here you are, your home is not selling.  Real estate agents have a lot going on, and although they might have the best intentions, they don’t always deliver.  Do you really want someone else to keep commissions and fees from the sale of your home?  If you want to keep all the money from the sale of your home, then you need to work with a cash home buying company.  Cash home buying companies don’t charge you fees or commissions, and you get a fair cash offer for your home.
