Why One in Two Properties Fail To Sell

Statistics show that in the current market your property only has a 52% likelihood of selling. That’s just a 1 in 2 chance of finding a buyer. This is a shocking statistic and sheds light on the real state of the current housing market (outside of London).For Sale

Many homeowners have no idea of the task ahead when they market their property, usually because of poor advice and a string of broken promises  from their Estate Agent. But why should this be the case?

Quite simply, many Estate Agents are afraid to tell you the truth when they value your property. Instead they opt for the easy option and tell you “what you want to hear” promising instant results and recommending an unrealistic asking price. Overpricing is the most common reason that properties fail to sell but other important failures typically include poor marketing details, shoddy photography, poor descriptions, and omission of important information such as dimensions and floor plans.

The good news is that you can instantly increase your chance of selling to at least 84%. This is the percentage of sales achieved by Elizabeth Davenport, Coventry office over the last 2 years. This has been achieved by careful pricing of properties and excellent marketing details including professional photography and high quality printed brochures that show off properties to their best potential.

In the current market don’t leave things to chance with an average Estate Agent. Give your property the best chance of achieving a sale by calling George at Elizabeth Davenport on 02476 010105.
