Here are a few possible reasons to consider
1. Your Pictures May be of Poor Quality.
Capturing pictures of your home using a mobile device may have sufficed a decade ago, but it's definitely not adequate nowadays. Present-day buyers anticipate high-quality images exhibiting the finest features of your home. Subpar photos can turn away several potential buyers, which is precisely the opposite of what you desire.
Consulting your realtor to arrange for the best possible photographs is crucial, whether the Realtor is adept at photography, knows someone skilled, or has a professional photographer to do the job. ( I use a professional photographer)
Captivating photographs enable you to present your home in the best light during the initial interaction with prospective buyers, which typically occurs online.
If your photographs are below standard, most buyers will disregard your home and ignore the listing description altogether.
2: Your Price is Too High
Overpricing a house is the primary reason why most homes fail to sell. Therefore, when sellers ask, "Why is my house not selling?" it's usually because of this issue. A price that is too high is a guaranteed way to repel a potential buyer.
The value of your home is only as much as someone is willing to pay for it. It does not matter how much you paid for it, how much you invested in renovations, or how much you love it.
If people are not showing an interest in your home, chances are it is priced too high.
3. You May Have Made it To Personalized
When you are trying to sell a house, it is important to create a neutral environment that allows potential buyers to envision themselves living there. This can mean removing some of the personalized items that make your home unique to you.
Over-personalization is a common reason why homes don't sell. It can be difficult to know what needs to go, so it's best to talk with your agent about how to present your home in the best possible light.
This may involve storing your collectibles, taking down family pictures, or clearing out your garage. Although it may be challenging to let go of some items, doing so will be worth it if you can sell your home.

4. You Make Your Agent Accompany All Showings
Having your listing agent attend every showing is not only pointless but can also make your home harder to sell. Accompanied showings don't sell homes, and buyers need to discuss their likes, dislikes, and goals without any opposing interests.
Your real estate agent works for you, and buyers know that. Having the listing agent in attendance during a showing can make buyers uncomfortable and prevent them from speaking freely.
Using lockboxes for showings is a more productive approach that allows more opportunities for potential buyers to view your home. Expecting your agent to attend every showing is unrealistic and can lead to lost opportunities.
In short, trust the process and give buyers the space they need to explore your home an envision themselves living there. Don't expect your agent to have magical powers to sell your home, it's up to the buyers to decide if it's the right fit for them.
5 You Are Not Flexible With Showings.
To successfully sell a home, you must be highly adaptable and flexible, prioritizing the buyer's schedule over your own. Turning down showings may mean missed opportunities to sell your home, as every potential buyer should be given the chance to view your property.
These are just a few that I come across quite often...
but are not the only ones.
