If your home is sitting on the market and not selling, your realtor may recommend that you cut the asking price of your home. However, if your real estate is priced at the price you want to attempt to sell it for, you may be looking for alternatives to a price reduction. Here are a few of the unconventional ways you may be able to help get your home to sell faster. 

Consider an Open House Party

Open houses have long been used to help homes sell faster. However, these days, an open house can be spiced up by hosting an open house party. The party usually has a theme and offers drinks and food, which can help buyers walk through the door. This technique is popular with high-end real estate, but is trickling down to average homes as well. 

Offer Owner Financing Options

Many people would love to buy, but they may be unable to get the traditional financing that they need to buy your home. Consider offering owner-financed down payments, owner financing on a home that you own all together, or rent-to-own or lease-to-own options if you are able to do so. 

Let Potential Buyers Spend the Night

Buying a home is a big decision. This is an expensive purchase and you will live in the home for years to come. Some buyers may be on the fence and wish they could spend more time in a home. Let potential buyers spend the night in your home. This allows them to really feel out the space and see how it would feel to live in your home. 

Throw In Some Amazing Extras

Finally, consider throwing in some amazing extras. Throwing in a new dining room table, big screen televisions, or gift card to a furniture store or grocery store helps buyers to feel like they are getting a good deal on a home and may prevent them from having to buy a few things out of pocket for the new home. 

Many buyers are looking for unconventional ideas to help their home sell for faster, without necessarily having to reduce the asking price of their home. If you are looking for a few new ideas that may help you to sell your home faster, the above ideas may help. However, when it comes to real estate, it is important to note that buyers dictate price. Your home is only worth what someone will pay for it. If you have tried the above ideas and still are not getting the traffic or offers you want, it may be time to think about a price reduction.
