Your House Didn’t Sell. Here’s What To Do Now.

Your House Didn’t Sell. Here’s What To Do Now.

When your home doesn’t sell, it’s more than just disappointing – it feels deeply personal. You’ve invested your time, money, and emotions into making this move happen. You’ve shared your plans with friends and family. But now, with your listing expired and no buyer, you’re left feeling stuck – and maybe even embarrassed.

What many agents won’t mention is this: Over 70% of sellers who switch agents go on to successfully sell their home.

Stick with the same agent? That number drops to just 50%, based on the latest REDX data. That’s essentially a coin toss – and when it comes to something this important, that’s simply not good enough.

According to REDX data, only 1 in 3 homeowners with expired listings actually make a change. That means the majority either give up or relist without adjusting their approach—leading to the same frustrating results. You deserve more than that.

Same property. New approach. Better outcome.

Let’s take a closer look at what might’ve gone wrong—and how a new perspective can lead to a better result this time around.

1. It Was Priced Too High

With today’s higher mortgage rates, buyers are more price-sensitive. Even slightly overpricing your home can push it out of consideration. And once a listing becomes stale, it’s harder to attract interest.

What we should do now: Review recent sales in your neighborhood and factor in buyer behavior and feedback from your last listing. Pricing at—or slightly below—market value can help generate more attention and encourage competitive offers.

2. It Didn’t Show Well

First impressions matter. If the photos didn’t stand out, the staging felt off, or the home looked outdated, buyers likely passed without booking a showing. Even minor issues like worn paint or old fixtures can make a big difference.

What we should do now: Let’s assess the home with a fresh perspective. A few simple updates—like fresh paint, light staging, or removing heavy curtains—can significantly improve the appeal of your space.

3. It Lacked Proper Exposure

If your property didn’t sell, it may not have reached the right audience. Standard marketing tactics won’t cut it anymore. Today’s successful listings use targeted digital advertising, social media strategy, video, and more.

What we should do now: We need to go beyond the basics. With the right mix of pricing, presentation, and marketing, we can get your home in front of qualified buyers—and get it sold.

4. You Weren’t Open to Negotiating

In today’s market, flexibility matters. Sellers who aren't open to discussions about things like inspection repairs, closing costs, or other buyer concessions often lose out. If your previous agent didn’t prepare you for that, it could’ve cost you the sale.

What we should do now: Be ready to meet buyers halfway. The goal is to close the deal, and that may involve offering incentives or finding creative solutions. With home values up over 55% in the past five years, you likely have room to negotiate without taking a loss.

Bottom Line

If your home didn’t sell and your listing expired, don’t give up. You just need a smarter game plan—and a better partner.

Over 70% of sellers who switch agents end up closing the deal. That’s not luck. That’s strategy.
