My Canterbury property has been on the market for 4 months and has not sold, what can I do?

There are several things you can do if your property has been on the market for several months and has not yet sold.

Here are a few options to consider:

Review the asking price:

It's possible that your property is not selling because it is overpriced for the current market. Consider working with your Canterbury estate agent to review the asking price and determine if it may need to be adjusted.

Make improvements:

Another option is to make some improvements to your property to make it more attractive to buyers. This could include updating the kitchen or bathrooms, or cheaper things like painting the walls, or making any necessary repairs. If you need the name of a good Canterbury contractor, drop us a note or call the office.

Increase marketing efforts:

If you have not already done so, consider increasing the marketing efforts for your property. This could include adding more high-quality photos to the listing, creating a virtual tour, or hosting an open house?

Consider working with a different Canterbury estate agent:

If you have not been satisfied with the marketing efforts or advice of your current estate agent, it may be worth considering working with a different agent. Look for an agent with a strong track record of successfully selling properties in Canterbury.

Be open to negotiating:

Finally, it may be worth considering being more open to negotiating with potential buyers. While you don't want to sell for significantly less than your asking price, it may be worth considering making some concessions to close the deal and get you moved.
