Struggling to generate viewings? Let's find out why…

If you’re currently on the market with another agent and struggling to get interest in your home - then this post is for you. 

We know it can be incredibly disheartening when your home is on the market, but the viewing requests just aren't coming in. You've tidied, you've prepped, and you're ready for that perfect buyer to walk through the door... but they're just not appearing.

If your home isn't currently selling in Hull or East Yorkshire, you're not alone, and there are often clear reasons why this might be happening.

The good news?

We're here to help identify those reasons and get your property the attention it deserves!

At Wigwam, we understand that selling your home can be a stressful time, and a lack of viewings only adds to that worry. We believe every home has its perfect buyer, and sometimes it just takes a fresh approach to connect them.

At the timing of writing (February 2026), the average time homes are on the market on Rightmove is 61.6 days - at Wigwam, the average time our listings are on the market are 52.9 days.

So, if you're wondering why your property isn't generating interest, let's explore some common culprits and how a change of strategy could make all the difference:

1. First impressions count: Is your listing standing out?

In today's competitive market, the vast majority of buyers start their property search online. This means your home's online presence is absolutely crucial.

Ask yourself: ‘Are the photos truly captivating?’

Blurry, dark, or poorly staged photos can make even the most beautiful home look unappealing. Professional photography can transform a listing, highlighting your home's best features and creating an emotional connection with potential buyers. Imagine bright, inviting images that make buyers want to see more!

2. The power of the right buyer: Do we already have them?

Often, the perfect buyer isn't actively searching on the major portals every single day. They might be registered with a local agent, waiting for that 'just right' property to come onto the market.

At Wigwam, we pride ourselves on cultivating a comprehensive database of motivated buyers who are actively looking for homes in Hull and across East Yorkshire.

When we take on a new property, our first step is to match it with our existing list of buyers. This means your home could be presented to someone who has specifically told us they're looking for a property just like yours, before it even fully hits the open market!

3. Is your price point perfect?

Pricing a property correctly is a fine art, not a science. An asking price that's too high can deter buyers from even considering a viewing, while a price that's too low could leave you out of pocket. Many factors influence the optimal price, including local market conditions, recent comparable sales, and your home's unique features.

We provide honest, data-driven advice on pricing strategies. We'll give you clear, transparent feedback on what your home is truly worth in the current East Yorkshire market, helping you set a price that attracts attention without underselling your valuable asset.

On average, at Wigwam we achieve 100.5% of asking price on our listings.

4. Honest feedback is key to moving forward

Sometimes, a fresh pair of eyes and some candid feedback can reveal why a home isn't selling. Perhaps there's a minor repair that's disproportionately putting buyers off, or a staging adjustment that could open up a room. We believe in open and honest communication. We'll provide constructive feedback from viewings and our own expertise, empowering you to make informed decisions that could dramatically improve your chances of a sale.
