This is a question they often ask me.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span title=\"\">It depends on many factors.<\/span> <span title=\"\">Let&#8217;s make a list of them:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Price<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Market conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Seasonality<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Location of the property<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Condition of the house<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Price<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Price is one of the most important factors. As I said on other occasions, don&#8217;t do the evaluation yourself! You are too tied to your home, you will not be able to be objective.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">I myself, that my job is to evaluate houses, I asked an external evaluation&nbsp; on my house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is not a lack of skills, but the awareness that we will only see all the money we have spent to make the house perfect for us and we think it is perfect for everyone, but it is not so.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If I look at my house I think &#8220;it has been studied so meticulously that if one were to enter it it would not change a pin!&#8221;, But it is not so, it will never be so. I don&#8217;t like the house you like. That is, it has value for me, it will have no value for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask an expert, a real estate agent, an expert in the sector and trust his evaluation. The figure will always seem too low, but it is because you are selling a piece of your life and these things cannot be priced!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last very important thing: putting a high price &#8220;there is always time to go down&#8221; is VERY WRONG! All insiders will tell you. Don&#8217;t make this mistake because your house could remain on the market for years or even end up unsold!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Market conditions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You cannot decide these yourself. It is the external factors that determine it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Obviously selling when the prices are higher and frequent trades will be a positive factor.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But the question you need to ask yourself is: why do you sell? Do you do it to buy something else? If this is the reason, be careful, you will sell at good prices, but you will also have to buy at equally high prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the period is not the best, you will have to resign yourself to accepting lower offers, perhaps even below the price that you paid at the time of your purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Seasonality<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each market has its seasonality. In the city people buy in the spring because they want to move in the summer when many are on vacation, the schools are closed and they want to start again after the holidays with a new home! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In touristic towns, such as our Lake Orta, however, peopl buy in the autumn or winter (houses that have been chosen in the summer though!) because they want to start enjoying the new home from next Easter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So putting up for sale a house in a tourist area in November, maybe you should wait a few months before the first visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Location of the property<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The position is very important to contrast market conditions. If the position is excellent, even if the market is falling, it will soon be sold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The buyers are not all the same, but in general, there are some common factors that tend to make a home&#8217;s location more or less valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Condition of the house<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This last point is very important because, together with the price, you decide it and leverage it in one direction or another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take for example an apartment in habitable condition, with a renovation of 30 years ago. It is not new, but it is not to be demolished. You will certainly want to get the right price for a home that can still be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If this is your intent, then prove it! Prepare the house so that it is ready for use! Freshly paint the walls, do all the little maintenance you need, refresh it with fabrics and accessories, arrange it to make it more welcoming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Are you not able to do all this? Call a home stager who will do it for you!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It sounds like a trivial step, but this will have a huge impact on sales times. Perhaps it is the most determining factor!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you want tailored advice for you and your home, do not hesitate to contact us by writing to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@ortalloggi.com\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">info@ortalloggi.com<\/span><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;Alice \u2013 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ortalloggi.com\/\">www.ortalloggi.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How long does it take to sell a house in Italy?
