Here are collected reasons residences will sometimes have no real buyers:
  • Unreasonable price — The toughest pill to swallow, but here and there this is the problem.
  • Location — Every location has a buyer, but from time to time it takes a while to find THAT buyer
  • Photos — If your listing has yet to sell, you may want to revisit the photos you’re using to present it on the MLS.
  • Parking — A difficult driveway or a unit without good parking can be slow to sell.
These are problems we’ve seen before and challenges we know how to overcome. Are you mulling over the idea of selling your unit in Marina Towers?
