In Saint Lucie County the condition of the market is such that 80% of the houses listing on the market will not sell the way it is currently listed. That' a bold statement to make so lets do the math together. Lets use the date July 1, 2007. 8637 houses listed in this market area. Year to Date 1679 have been sold. 4949 houses have expired so far this year without being able to go ahead with a sale. OK six months into the year we have a total of 6628 with a result (added sold and expired together) dividing that by the number expired we come up with 74.7% meaning only 25.3% sold before they expired. Let's pretent for a minute that no more listings come on the market and well sell at the same pace for the rest of the year (another 1679 sold) 1679/8637= 19.4% sold or 80.6% expired. Knowing the odds are against you, you have to think and create an advantage. Here are the top five areas I find that cause a property not to sell.

1. Location.

2. Condition.

3. Price.

4. Terms.

5. The Agent and Company You Select.
