47% of Homes Didn't Sell This Year – Here's How to Avoid the Same Mistake

Nearly half of homes listed didn’t sell in 2024. Learn how to ensure your home isn’t one of them.

Almost half of homes listed in 2024 failed to sell.

Many homeowners were let down by poor pricing, outdated marketing, or lack of buyer interest.

To avoid this, start with an honest valuation from an experienced local agent.

Overpricing your home drives buyers away and wastes valuable time.

High-quality marketing is essential. Use professional photos, video tours, and social media to capture buyer attention.


Highlight your property’s unique features, whether it’s a stunning garden or a new kitchen. The better your home looks online, the more viewings you’ll attract.

Timing also matters.

Listing in January gives you access to motivated buyers entering the market after Christmas.

Partner with an agent who understands this demand and tailors their strategy accordingly.

Selling your home successfully isn’t about luck—it’s about having the right approach.
