We are nearing the end of the year and as usual activity in our market has decreased. There may still be buyers looking to buy but the urgency often declines due to families and the holiday season taking priority.

How can I get my Barrington Home sold

If your home has been on the market for a while you might be wondering what you can do to get your Barrington home sold. Here are some questions for you and your Realtor.

  1. Have you established the market value for your home in the last 60 to 90 days. You may still be over-priced. Adjust now.
  2. What is the average marketing time for homes in your part of Barrington in your price range. It may still be early days.
  3. Your home is in the MLS-isn’t it? Check.
  4. Your MLS photos-do they need updating-seasonal.
  5. Do you have a virtual tour or at least multiple photos?
  6. What other marketing is being done-ask your Realtor if any of it has bought enquiries either direct or from other Realtors. This can be hard to measure as often you’ll never know how a buyer found your property, but it’s worth looking at the marketing again.
  7. Is your property being blogged. A well written and marketed Barrington blog will attract many readers. A monthly post about features of your home will draw new readers and intrigue existing ones
  8. Is your Barrington home on TV?  Comcast has a real estate search channel. TV is becoming more popular as a means of searching for homes. Luxury homes especially should be featured on this channel.
  9. Do you have brochures for buyers to take when they visit? Serves as a reminder especially the photos.
  10. Does your Barrington Home have a web site and how well will it be found by the search engines.
  11. Does the home need any updating? Why do you think your buyers will want to do updating?
  12. Have you had any constructive feedback-can you address any of those issues?

As you can see there is a lot to look at if your home has not sold. A pro-active approach is needed. Get on this now, do not leave it 2 or 3 or even 4 more months. There is always something that can be done.
