Why Isn’t My Property Selling?

Selling your home can be an emotional and stressful experience — especially when your property has been on the market longer than expected, and there’s little to no activity. You might be left wondering, “Why isn’t my house selling?”

At this point, frustration is normal. But in many cases, a property that should have sold, hasn’t — not due to the market alone, but due to a breakdown in communication, strategy, or marketing execution.

If this sounds familiar, it might be time to step back and ask some honest questions about your current sales strategy.

9 Key Questions to Ask When Your Property Isn’t Selling

1. Is my estate agent as enthusiastic now as they were on day one?
   The initial buzz is great — but consistency is key. If your agent’s energy has dropped, buyer momentum might be lagging too.
2. Do I receive regular, constructive feedback after each viewing?
   Immediate, actionable feedback is crucial. If you’re left in the dark, you’re missing vital opportunities to improve the appeal of your property.
3. Do I have to chase my agent for updates — or are they proactively keeping in touch?
   You shouldn’t have to be the one making all the calls. Ongoing communication builds confidence and clarity during the sales process.
4. Are viewings being accompanied by the agent?
   An accompanied viewing means your property is being professionally presented, and agents can gather valuable buyer reactions on the spot.
5. Am I being kept informed about what’s selling in my area?
   Understanding your local market is essential. If other properties are selling and yours isn’t, you need to know why.
6. Has my agent offered practical advice on staging or presentation?
   A fresh set of eyes can help spot small changes that make a big difference in buyer perception.
7. Is my property being advertised regularly alongside similar listings?
   This helps attract cross-interest and keeps your home visible to active buyers in your price range.
8. Do I feel like a valued client with an important property?
   Every property deserves attention, whether it’s a one-bed flat or a family home. You should feel prioritised, not sidelined.
9. Is my agent blaming a “slow market” — or are they taking ownership of the situation?
   While market conditions do matter, a great agent will focus on what they can do to improve results, not just deflect blame.

Is Your Property Going Stale on the Market?

If these questions hit a little too close to home, it may be time to rethink your sales strategy. A stale listing can quickly lose buyer interest, and time is rarely on your side in property sales.

The good news? It’s not too late to take action.
