Trying to sell our house before we move. Been on the market for a month in a high-end-ish neighborhood with a bit of competition, with one pricier house near ours selling in 8 hours. What are we doing wrong??
Our house has 2 floors and a basement and was built in the 90s. Has no issues but we had to repaint some rooms because the colors were a bit too exotic (orange and red). Our realtor sold another former home of ours in a different town in like 3 days, and we've had almost 10 showings but only one with feedback and the person thought it was too expensive (700k range). We've maintained our lawn, tidyed up the house before every showing, and tailored the interior better to the average buyer's interests, took better photos (although the photographer for some reason took photos of the attic with a bunch of junk in it and we got those removed after 2 days and 2 requests to the realtor to have them taken down on zillow), and still nothing. A friend of my mom's theory is that theres a bit of a real estate "mafia" in our town and that they all know each other and sell their homes easily, while our realtor is from a different town and not part of the "club". Our contract with them ends in august but we REALLY want to move in the next month or so. We're hoping for more progress once more kids get out of school (most people coming to showings had kids) but my mom is sort of panicking about being stuck here and had to back out of a job she got accepted for in a different state. Any advice appreciated!
