I’m sorry you’re going through that. Having your home sit on the market without activity can be really stressful and frustrating A month on the market with very few showings could mean**something in the strategy may need to be adjusted**, but it really depends on what the average days on market is in your neighborhood. In most cases, when a home isn’t getting traction it comes down to one (or more) of these factors: **Pricing** Buyers are very price sensitive right now and they compare every home they see online. Even a small gap between price and perceived value can reduce showings. **Presentation & Photos** Buyers decide whether to schedule a showing in seconds while scrolling online. Strong photos and positioning matter more than ever. **Exposure & Marketing** The fact that your home wasn’t appearing correctly on Zillow due to an MLS mapping issue could absolutely impact the number of buyers who saw it. Also, lack of feedback is common when there haven’t been many showings. Unfortunately, buyers usually only give feedback when they actually tour the home. The most important step right now is to **have a direct conversation with your agent about the strategy moving forward**. Ask questions like: • How does our price compare to similar homes currently for sale? • Are we getting enough online views? • What changes could increase showings? • Are there marketing adjustments that should be made? If you feel those questions aren’t being addressed or you’re not getting the level of communication you need, it’s reasonable to explore other options. Selling a home should absolutely be a priority for the agent representing you. Sometimes the difference between a home that’s “still sitting” and one that’s **“just sold”** comes down to a few smart adjustments to pricing, presentation, or marketing. I wrote a blog post about this exact thing.

Possibly. If a veteran is buying a home, they can get a VA loan which allows for no money down financing. Virginia has programs to help people with grants for their down payments. If Georgia has programs like that, that could be an option too. Your best bet is to connect with a lender and/or an agent who are well versed in the financing options in your area. Let me know if you have additional questions.
