8 Common Hassles of Selling a House

If you’ve never sold a home before, you will come across many challenges and obstacles that you’ve never considered. These hassles are typically the reason why most financial experts recommend that homeowners sell their houses through a real estate broker.

But while finding a broker will certainly make it easier to find buyers, it won’t take care of all the other issues you’re likely to come across when you sell your house. What’s more, many of these challenges can catch first-time sellers completely unprepared.

To help you identify potential concerns, we’ve compiled some of the most common issues people face when they’re selling their houses. Here are just a few of the hassles homeowners have to go through to sell their house:

Table of Contents

  • 1. Selling and Buying a Home at the Same Time
  • 2. Making Repairs and Upgrades
  • 3. Pricing Your Property Correctly
  • 4. Pressure to Accept Low Offers
  • 5. Volatile Local Housing Markets
  • 6. Handling Emotions
  • 7. Inspections
  • 8. Realtor Expenses
  • Sell Your House – The Right Way

1. Selling and Buying a Home at the Same Time

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t own multiple properties or speculate on the real estate market for investment reasons. This means most homeowners looking to sell the house they live in are also actively looking for an alternative to their original place of residence.

This is much more of a hassle than it seems. Not only do you want an option that you could comfortably cover with the sale of your original home, but you also want it to fit all your other criteria, including size, layout, location, HOA fees, and so on. And if your home is not fully paid for, you’ll also have the mortgage and financing to think of.

Of course, as you’re selling and buying a home, life has to go on. You’ll still need to earn an income and your family still needs to live their lives. Taken together, this hassle is often enough to delay the decision to sell one’s home. 

If you’re in the Upper Midwest and you’ve been searching for ads that advertise “we buy houses Michigan,” consider looking for a reputable home buyer that can purchase your house quickly, can pay in cash, and asks for no fees or commissions. This way, you can expedite the process of finding a new home for yourself and your family.

2. Making Repairs and Upgrades

Repairs and upgrades are important if you want your property to sell at a good price. However, if you’re not a contractor yourself, the cost of replacing or updating worn-out features and fixtures can be quite expensive. 

If the property you’re selling hasn’t been well-maintained, the cost of fixing things up may even exceed any realistic profits from the sales. This means that if you know that you will be selling your property in the future, keeping things in good order can go a long way to protecting the value of your home.

3. Pricing Your Property Correctly

If you have limited experience selling real estate, it may be a good idea to seek professional advice. The real estate market can be very tricky and each geographic location has its own quirks. Additionally, you’ll want to try a different pricing strategy depending on whether you want to sell your property right away or if you’re looking at the maximum possible income from your sale.

4. Pressure to Accept Low Offers

As a rule of thumb, buyers will always want to get your property for as little cash as they can. Likewise, many real estate agents are under pressure to earn commissions.

These are not necessarily bad things if you just want to get rid of a property. But if you’re looking for the best possible price for your home, succumbing to pressure and taking a low offer can cause you more problems down the line.

5. Volatile Local Housing Markets

While a lot of people might tell you that real estate market prices tend to trend upward over time, this is not universally true. Even in places where this is generally the case, a lot of short-term market dips and surges are not uncommon, especially in densely populated areas. 

To ensure that you don’t sell during a market dip, make sure to seek advice from a qualified expert who has your best interests in mind.

6. Handling Emotions

For most homeowners, their house is their most expensive asset. This usually means that most people do not buy houses just to sell them right away. Rather, a majority of homeowners buy houses to live in for a large portion of their lives. Additionally, many homeowners inherited their houses, having lived in them during their formative years.

This combination of high monetary and sentimental value will understandably make many homeowners emotional when it’s time to sell their house. As a result, seller’s remorse is a common phenomenon in real estate and many homeowners will need to actively manage their mental health during this time.

7. Inspections

Inspections from prospective buyers, city or municipal home inspectors, and home appraisers can cause homeowners a lot of stress and anxiety. What’s more, these visits can also come at inconvenient and often unpredictable times. The results of these visits aren’t always what homeowners want to hear either. Taken together, this makes visits a dreaded part of selling one’s house.

8. Realtor Expenses

While using a broker is usually the best option for homeowners who don’t have a buyer lined up, this doesn’t make paying referral and finder’s fees much easier. Additionally, there is plenty of stress involved in finding and vetting the right people to sell your home. Good realty services don’t come cheap either, which adds even more stress to the mix.

Sell Your House – The Right Way

Selling your own home can be a difficult and fraught process. This is especially true if you have developed a significant emotional attachment to your property. At the end of the day, the best choice for most homeowners is to sell their house through a reputable broker or home buyer.
