Stop losing your precious time by knowing how to tell if a homeowner is not serious about selling. First of all, you have to know that not everybody who says that wants to sell their property intends to do it. Here are some common signs:
1. THE ASKING PRICE IS OFF THE CHARTS
If the seller wants to list the property for a price that’s obviously above the price of other homes with the same characteristics, the seller is just probably testing the market and seeing if someone bites the bait. You should know that this type of seller isn’t that interested in selling.
2. THE HOUSE IS A MESS
Everybody knows that a messy house won’t attract anyone, and even less a buyer. Doesn’t matter if it’s the greatest house in the world or if it’s a disaster, the seller is very likable to not be that interested in selling.
3. THE SELLER WON’T BUDGE ON PRICE
Another sign that a seller isn’t that serious about his/her decision of putting a property for sale is if the mentioned property has been out in the market for over 30 days and hasn’t changed its price. After estimating for residential construction, This change should usually be a reduction in price. This indicates that the homeowner isn’t so interested in selling.
4. NEGOTIATING IS OFF THE TABLE
If the seller doesn’t agree to negotiate and rejects some reasonable or good offers, like selling for a little less than asked, then you know that this person isn’t that convinced about the decision of selling.
5. THE SELLER DRAGS THINGS OUT
Another case that usually occurs is when a seller starts asking for extensions on your offers. If someone starts to buy time to ‘think’ or to ‘review the offer’ that person is just looking for someone else who might give some more money.
