Why Hasn't My House Rented?

Reasons and Remedies for Dealing with a Changing Market

Reason Remedy

Overpriced	New market analysis with extra emphasis on what has actually leased and days on market; lower price to meet or beat market
Price reductions too little, too late	New market analysis; significantly lower price below the next price break or two
New competition since property was listed	New market analysis; lower price; offer incentives to renters and/or agents
Difficult to show, not readily accessible	Adjust showing hours, remedy situation deterring showing activity
Glutted or slow market	Adjust pricing and offer incentives
Many showings but no offers	Improve condition to equal perceived value or drop price to meet condition of property
Condition (maintenance problems)	Freshen up and review ways to improve
Condition (curb and overall appeal)	Rehab as necessary – new carpet, paint, update fixtures/countertops/blinds, manicure yard
Location not desirable	Compensate with price adjustment
Driveby calls, but little Realtor^® activity	Lower price to meet client demand; offer incentives to agents
Pets (odor, soil, intimidation)	Deodorize carpet, cage or remove pets
External influence (new highway, neighborhood)	New market analysis; compensate with price adjustment
