Looking for a deal? It might be the ideal time to bargain as these homes are approaching six months on the real estate market in Kalamazoo.

Is it as simple as "location, location, location?" There are six reasons a house may stay on the market long term. Landmark Home Warranty breaks it down:

  1. Price
  2. Stubborn Seller
  3. Hard to Show
  4. For Sale by Owner
  5. Bad Economy
  6. Bad Condition

The first is simple. If the price is too high, the buyers are shy. A seller may refuse to lower the price, extending the time the house sits on the market. If a seller is always too busy for an open house or ill prepared, that can work against them. Harder still, if the owner is selling it themselves. Obviously, the economy influences how quickly houses sell and if the buyer or seller has the advantage. Any home inspector will tell you the condition of the house should be a major factor to consider.
