All sellers look forward to the day when their home listing finally goes live; after all, in many cases they have worked hard for weeks or months to get the property ready for potential buyers. Although everyone dreams of a quick sale, the unfortunate reality is that sometimes a home just sits... and sits... and sits. If your home has been on the market for several months and you aren't receiving reasonable offers (or even unreasonable ones!), then it might be time to consider withdrawing the listing. Of course, this is no easy decision, so how do you know when a change is necessary? Here are four signs that it might be time for a tactical retreat.
The open house is probably one of the most important ways that potential buyers can really get a good look at your home. Pictures on the internet can only do so much. With the housing market as it is, pictures may be the first gateway to your home but the open house may be necessary to really seal a deal. Due to a lower imventory, houses are going faster these days so that first open house that you have may be wherer all your bids will come from. What better way to give your home a fresh look before people even get out of the car than to rehab your curb appeal?

One of the best things about owning your own home is the ability to change the interior in any way you want. Do you love pink carpet and wood paneling? Go for it! (Well, maybe don't go that far.) However, if selling your home is anywhere in the foreseeable future, then you should put some effort into keeping your interior design relatively conventional. While most current design choices won't make or break a sale, there are some common trends that can seriously turn off buyers.
