3 Main Reasons Why Empty Lakeland FL Homes for Sale Don’t Sell Easily
Office relocation, divorce,
bankruptcy - these are just a few of the reasons behind an empty home. Because
most of the common reasons stem from a negative place, this makes it hard for
sellers and real estate agents to create a welcoming ambience to potential
Lakeland FL home for sale buyers.
Don’t believe it? Here are
the three main reasons why empty homes don’t sell easily:
Buyers don’t see the
potential of the place.
They don’t have a point of
reference when they visit the house. Without any existing furniture or
decoration, buyers are not able to connect with the space. How can they easily
tell if the living room area can accommodate their sofas, center tables, and
home entertainment pieces? How can they easily picture out where to put their
bed in the master bedroom if it’s only a blank space with a window on one side
of the wall?
Buyers are not even at the
empty house!
You won’t get any buyer
traffic because some people looking for homes usually do a drive-by before
deciding to get out of their cars and walking up to the house. An empty house
usually lacks enough curb appeal to entice the potential buyers from going in.
In short, they didn’t like their first impression of the Lakeland FL house so
they don’t feel like it’s worthy enough of their time.
Empty house screams
desperate.
When buyers enter the place
and see nothing but empty space, they get the feeling of desperation from the
homeowner, making them feel that there is a lot of room for negotiation when it
comes to the price of the house. Because come to think of it, one of the
assumptions a buyer makes is that the seller is in a hurry to sell and would
gladly accept lower-than-the-market offers. While this is sometimes true, other
sellers are looking for a fair price and it just didn’t cross their mind to at
least stage their home for sale in Lakeland FL.
Don’t let an empty house
bring your market price down. Let buyers see the potential of the space. Talk

for sale.
