How Long Does it Take to Market a Property?
The length of time it takes to market a house will vary. Some
properties will sell in just a few days, others may require
several months. Following are the six factors that influence the
time it takes to sell a property.
Competition
Every buyer makes his decision about which home to buy and how
much it is worth by his other choices tat the time he buys. The
supply of other choices the buyers will compare with your home
is constantly changing each week and month. The current
competition always affects the buyer's opinion of your property
and what he thinks it is worth. So, the questions is: What will
be the buyer's other choices at the time they are shown your
property.?
Price
If the property has not sold after a reasonable length of time,
but other similar propertiess have sold, then the price may need
to be reduced. If this is true and the price is not reduced, a
sale may delayed or prevented.
Property
If the property should how poorly or have major defects which
cannot be, or are not corrected, a sale may not occur until the
defects are corrected or the price is adjusted to compensate for
them.
Financing
The current cost of mortgage financing plays an important role
in affordability to most prospective buyers. If these costs are
too high, then the financing may cause a delay or prevent the
sale.
Timing
Timing is the condition of the real estate market at the time of
the sale. Supply and demand are the factors influencing whether
it is a seller's or a buyer's market. Neither the seller nor the
listing agent can change the market condition at the time the
property is for sale. It must be accepted for what it is.
Marketing
Marketing techniques re being constantly tested and updated for
the best results. But even expert marketing has limitations
because marketing cannot overcome any of the first five factors
if they are out of balance and remain uncorrected. We wiill
supply you with a constant flow of updated information which
will help you determine the marketability of your property.
