Here are some reasons homes will sometimes have no buyers:
  • Unreasonable price — The toughest pill to swallow, but on rare occasions, this is the problem.
  • First Impression — Let's face it: a number of townhouses are not attractive when you first gaze upon them.
  • Odor — The majority of homes have an odor that the owner doesn't even know aware of.
  • Neighbors — Are your neighbors making it difficult to sell?
