Why Your Home Isn’t Selling (And What to Do About It)

You’ve listed your home. You’ve had a few showings. But no offers—and it’s been sitting on the market for weeks. What’s going on?

If your Baton Rouge-area home isn’t getting the attention (or offers) you expected, here are the most common reasons why—and how to turn things around quickly.

1. Your Price May Be Too High

Even in a seller’s market, buyers are savvy and watch pricing carefully. If your home is priced above comparable listings in the area, they may skip it without a second thought.

Fix it:
We’ll run a fresh comparative market analysis (CMA) to adjust your price competitively. A slight reduction can often trigger new interest—and even multiple offers.

2. Your Listing Photos Aren’t Great

Today’s buyers shop online first. If your photos are dark, cluttered, or missing key features, they may never click through.

Fix it:
We use professional photography, drone footage, and video tours to showcase your home in its best light—and maximize online exposure.

3. Your Home Isn’t Showing Well in Person

Buyers may love the listing, but lose interest once they walk through the door. Clutter, odors, or needed repairs can quickly kill the mood.

Fix it:
We’ll help you stage your home, declutter, and make affordable updates that improve buyer perception.

4. You’re Not Reaching the Right Buyers

Your home might be perfect—but the marketing may not be targeting your ideal buyer pool.

Fix it:
We run paid ad campaigns on Facebook, Google, Instagram, and more to reach serious, qualified buyers—locally and out-of-state.

5. The Market Has Shifted

The Baton Rouge market evolves seasonally and reacts to interest rates, inventory, and buyer demand. If you listed at the wrong time or didn’t adjust with the market, you might be behind.

Fix it:
We monitor the market weekly and adapt quickly—changing price, visuals, or marketing strategy as needed.
