If your home has been sitting on the market longer than expected, you’re not alone. In today’s market, even great homes can linger if they’re not marketed or presented the right way. The good news? Most of the time, the reasons are fixable.

In my latest video, I dive into the top reasons homes don’t sell in Leamington—and the practical steps you can take to change that. You can watch it here: Click to Watch the Video.


1. Pricing Strategy Matters

One of the biggest reasons homes don’t sell is pricing. If your home is listed too high, you risk scaring off qualified buyers. If it’s priced too low, you might leave money on the table.
The key is to look at the local market data, recent comparables, and buyer demand to set a competitive price that attracts attention while still giving you the value you deserve.


2. Presentation Is Everything

Buyers shop with their eyes first. If your home doesn’t show well—whether that’s due to clutter, outdated décor, or lack of staging—it can be difficult for buyers to imagine themselves living there.
Small changes like decluttering, repainting, and light staging can make a big difference without breaking the bank.


3. Marketing Reach

It’s not enough to just put your home on MLS. To get the right buyers through the door, your property needs strategic exposure—professional photos, video tours, social media campaigns, Google ads, and even digital billboards can all help your home stand out in a crowded market.


4. Timing and Market Conditions

The time of year, interest rate changes, and local competition all play a role in how quickly a home sells. If the market shifts while your home is listed, it may be worth re-evaluating your strategy with your Realtor®.


Final Thoughts

Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but the right approach can make all the difference. If your home isn’t getting the activity you expected, it may just need a fresh strategy—whether that’s an adjustment in price, presentation, or marketing.
