Cape Town – According to a recent OLX survey conducted across social media in South Africa, 37% of those surveyed said they cannot park cars in their garage, because it is "full of stuff".
A recent Biggest Home Seller Mistakes survey of 1 000 estate agents in the US revealed that 32% of people don’t sell their homes because of clutter.
The report, conducted by ActiveRain, an online community of nearly 300 000 real estate agents in the US, listed not clearing clutter as the third biggest mistake made by home sellers.
The biggest mistakes cited were overpricing the home (77%), followed by not showing availability (34%).
Smaller mistakes included not being willing to negotiate (21%), not taking care of unpleasant odours (28%) and not being willing to make repairs (20%).
Bronwyn Johnson, head of marketing, OLX South Africa, said that taking care of clutter is something that sellers can immediately do to improve their chances of speeding up the sale of their house.
