If the housing market is poor, like it is right now than selling your home fast is even more difficult. However, there are ways to increase the chance of people beating down your door so you can sell your house.
First, consider lowering the price the point to where the house can sell on cost alone. This might be difficult for some people to do because that is money that they are taking right out of their pocket. However, if you need to sell your house fast than this is going to get things moving more than any other one item. The irony is that in most cases if you set it really low, even up to 20% lower you most likely will start a bidding war for your home, even in today’s market. So the price will rise close, if not over the value you would have placed on it. But you are going to have to have mental toughness to do this and most people just don’t have a belief that it will work out this way.
Get yourself a storage unit and put everything possible in there. A house that looks packed will cause people to think it is small. A house that has less in it will actually cause people to think it’s large and spacious.
Next add lamps, lights and increase the wattage of the other bulbs in your home to make the house glow. Light is one of the things that help people feel the house is alive and fresh, dark homes make people feel down. So brighten the room up with lighting throughout the house.
Although it’s your home people are looking for a house, so take your personality out of the house. Family photos, religious information, work related information, etc. will take away the focus from the house and place it on the home.
People buy the kitchen, so place the focus on the kitchen and either do a light remodel with appliances or a full remodel with cabinets, countertops, flooring and appliances. This is an area of real importance in getting your house to move quickly.
Last, be ready to show it. People won’t come when you are ready, they will come when they are ready and normally that means with a very short notice. Keep the house clean and clutter free so an agent can call and show with a moment’s notice. Take the time up front to learn what you need to do to sell your house fast and you will increase your chances.

There are loads of people on there who have been in similar situations.
You may find a way out of your problem without having to sell your house.
little bit
we worked out that if we sell up and rent we would be loads better off, but we don’t wanna move out of the kids school area, so we could either rent somewhere nearby or sell ours and rent it back ><, the first one looks the best bet.
No decent ones, no.

Are you in financial difficulty?
Although every situation is unique, it is not uncommon for homebuyers to qualify for a mortgage on a new home while still living in their primary residence.
Perhaps you are outgrowing your current house, or have been forced to relocate due to a job transfer? Regardless of the motivation for keeping one property while purchasing another, let’s address this question with the mortgage approval in mind:
So, Do I Have To Sell?
Yes. No. Maybe. It depends.
Welcome to the wonderful world of mortgage lending. Only in this industry can one simple question elicit four answers…and all of them may be right.
If you are in a financial position where you qualify to afford both your current residence and the proposed payment on your new house, then the simple answer is Yes!
Qualifying based on your Debt-to-Income Ratio is one thing, but remember to budget for the additional expenses of maintaining multiple properties. Everything from mortgage payments, increased property taxes and hazard insurance to unexpected repairs should be factored into your final decision.
What If I Rent My Current Property?
This scenario presents the “maybe” and the “it depends” answers to the question.
If you’re not quite qualified to carry both mortgages, you may have to rent the other property in order to offset the mortgage payment.
In that scenario, the lender will typically only count 75% of the monthly rent you are proposing to receive.
So if you are going to receive $1000 a month in rent and your current payment is $1500, the lender is going to factor in an additional $750 of monthly liabilities in your overall Debt-to-Income Ratios.
Another detail that can present a huge hurdle is the reserve requirement and equity ratio most lenders have. In some cases, if you are going to rent out your current home, you will need to have at least 25% equity in order to offset your payment with the proposed rent you will receive.
Without that hefty amount of equity, you will have to qualify to afford BOTH mortgage payments. You will also need some significant cash in the bank.
Generally, lenders will require six months reserve on the old property, as well as six month reserves on the new property.
For example, if you have a $1500 payment on your old house and are buying a home with a $2000 monthly payment, you will need over $21,000 in the bank.
Keep in mind, this reserve requirement is incremental to your down payment on the new property.
What If I Can’t Qualify Based On Both Mortgage Payments?
This answer is pretty straightforward, and doesn’t require a financial calculator to figure out.
If you are in this situation, then you will have to sell your current home before buying a new one.

My husband and I are selling (we are having a brand new home built) and based on a contingency, we must sell this house before moving into the new home. My frustrations are plentiful when it comes to having perspective buyers take a peek at our home. It’s a very open floor plan with two and half story foyer and all the amenities. But it just seems that people are only looking at our home just to get a sneak peak of the inside and are not interested in buying. Maybe I’m wrong but I’m beginning to get a bit antsy with all of this. Can anyone give any suggestions as to how to go about selling your home faster without lowering the price? (BTW, our asking price for the 2442 sq.ft. home in a very nice sub-division in High Point, NC is 200,000).
Everything that you asked is currently being done—from staging the home, to having it viewable on “visualtour” etc. It’s been on the market for nearly three weeks so maybe I’m just a bit too antsy at the moment. We are listed with Keller Williams. They are excellent at what they do so we feel confident in who we have chosen to represent the selling of our home. The other homes for sale are at the same (if not more) asking price.
