• Should you take it off the market for awhile?
• Should you lower your price?
• Should you list it with another broker?
• Should you fix it up and then relist it at a higher price?
• Should you fix it up and leave it at the same price?

Your choices are numerous, but how effective would each of them be?

Every home selling situation is different, of course, but here are some of the ideas I use if a home I'm trying to sell just won't move. One of the problems with having a home for sale for a long time is that it gets "stale." That means that homeowners who are looking may see it once and then, a few months later, see that it's still on the market and wonder what's wrong with it. There may be nothing at all wrong with it, but since it didn't sell, the perception is that something must be wrong or it wouldn't still be in the MLS book.

Having such a house that won't sell also attracts people who will want to give you a low-ball offer. They figure that after all that time, you must be getting desperate, so they think maybe they can steal your house.

My recommendation is to list your home for a shorter period than the six to nine months that most agents suggest. Instead, list for three or four months, and if the home doesn't sell, relist with another broker. That way, the listing will show up in the MLS book with a new photo, a new description, and a new agent's name. It will have a freshness to it that you couldn't attain by relisting with the same brokerage.

Another thing you can do in between listings is to really go through the house and give it a thorough cleaning and touch-up. You don't have to spend a lot of money, but you do want to give the home a new feel of freshness and vitality. Then go ahead and relist. It will be as if it was a new listing, since it's been upgraded. That may just do the trick.
