Unsold and expired

Has your property failed to sell?

A property may remain unsold because of its condition, price, financing problems or the limitations of the traditional market.

MaliHaus can provide another perspective and determine whether a direct sale may be available. There is no obligation to proceed simply because an owner requests a review.

Unsold usually means something specific

A property that has sat on the market is telling you something, and it is worth identifying what. Condition, price, photographs, access, the financing available to the likely buyer, or something particular about the property itself. Each has a different answer.

There is also the category of properties that did sell, twice or three times, and then came back. That pattern usually points at the buyer's lender or the inspection rather than at anything about how the property was marketed.

What tends to complicate it.

Not everything below will apply to you. Most owners in this situation recognise at least one of them.

Time on market becomes its own problemBuyers see a long listing history and assume something is wrong, whether or not it is.
Repeated fall throughs point at financingA property that keeps coming back is often failing at the lender's stage rather than at the buyer's.
Price reductions get chased downwardsA sequence of cuts can end below where a properly targeted approach would have landed.
Another six months costs real moneyMortgage, insurance, taxes and maintenance continue throughout the next attempt.

How MaliHaus may be able to help

We can look at the property and give you a straight assessment of why it is likely not selling, and which of our three routes might apply. If the honest answer is that relisting properly would pay you more, we will say so.

If your listing agreement is still running, tell us. There may be obligations to your agent that need to be respected first, and that is worth establishing before anything else is discussed.

3 Ways to Sell

Every property is assessed against all three before anyone quotes a number. Which one applies depends on the property, its condition and the scope of the work.

01

We inspect it, then buy it ourselves

We complete a full property inspection to evaluate its condition, repair requirements and overall project scope. If the property meets our purchasing criteria, we move forward using our own cash with no lender financing to fall through.

Best when the property fits our direct-purchase criteria and you want a straightforward cash sale.
02

We improve it, then bring in an investor partner

If the project carries more risk than we want to take on alone, we may, with your written approval, complete select repairs while the property is under contract. By investing our own money first, we make the home more attractive to our investor partners and demonstrate that we have real skin in the game. That commitment gives our partners greater confidence to join the purchase and complete the project with us.

Best when some upfront improvements can create a stronger and more dependable path to closing.
03

Our national investor network competes for it

Through our partnership with a national real estate syndicate, we can present your property to investors across the country. Qualified buyers can review the opportunity and compete to purchase it, creating exposure beyond the local market.

Best when broader exposure and competitive investor demand could produce a stronger result.

How it works, in three steps.

Step 1

Tell us about the property

Share the address, condition of the property and the situation you are facing.

Step 2

Let us evaluate the opportunity

The MaliHaus team reviews the property, the repair requirements, the local market and the available purchase route.

Step 3

Review your options

MaliHaus explains which of the three selling approaches may fit the property. The owner decides whether the proposed solution works for them.

Questions people in this situation ask.

My listing agreement has not expired yet. Can we still talk?

Tell us the position. Depending on your agreement there may be obligations to your agent, and those need respecting. Establishing that first is the right order to do this in.

It fell through three times. What is going on?

That pattern usually points at the buyer's financing or at the inspection rather than at the marketing. It is one of the first things worth checking.

Will you just offer me less than the list price?

We will give you a figure and the reasoning behind it. If it does not work for you, that is a perfectly reasonable answer and nothing is owed.

Should I reduce the price and try again instead?

Sometimes that genuinely is the better route, and we will tell you if we think so. Knowing what a direct sale looks like gives you something to compare it against.
