Your property has been online for several weeks... and still no visitors?
It's no coincidence. A few poorly calibrated details are often all it takes to scare off potential buyers - even in a commune as popular as Samoënsin the heart of the Giffre valley.
And yet the demand is there. Visit the 3 most common mistakes that explain why a sale stagnates... and how to correct them in order to revive interest quickly.
No visits after 3 weeks? This is no coincidence
In Samoëns as elsewhere, first impressions are decisive. In a competitive market where buyers consult dozens of adverts, everything is decided in a matter of seconds: a badly framed photo, an inconsistent price or bland text, and the advert is ignored.
Why isn't your property in Samoëns the envy of many?
A property is a emotional product. It's not just a surface area and a price: it's an atmosphere, a promise of life, a setting. Visit the 3 levers that determine the success of an advert.
1. A main photo that doesn't grab attention
This is the first item visible in search results. It has to make people fall in love with it immediately. However, many ads are penalised by poorly lit, badly framed or too busy visuals.
💡 Tip: Use natural light, clear out clutter and call in a professional photographer like Because Image in Samoëns. The ideal photo should be bright, clear and representative of the property.
👉 Local example: A 2-room flat in the city centre may look dull with artificial lighting. However, photographed with a view of the mountains on a sunny winter morning, it becomes irresistible.
2. A price poorly adjusted to the local market
In Samoëns, prices vary according to the type of property, its condition and its location Village centre, close to ski slopes, quiet area with views, etc. Over-ambitious prices can scare off excellent buyer profiles.
💡 Tip: Have your property valued by a local professional (not an automated platform). Take account of recent sales in your area, and adjust if necessary. A well-positioned price generates more clicks, which means more visits, which means a better chance of selling quickly.
👉 Example: A chalet in the hills overpriced by 8 % remained unseen for 2 months. Repositioned at the right price, it found a buyer in 10 days.
3. Too generic a description, with no emotional projection
Too many adverts are coldly limited to technical lists: "T3 flat, 68m², good condition, parking". This doesn't sell.
A good description creates a projection It tells a story, evokes a lifestyle, speaks to the heart as much as to the mind.
💡 Tip: Transform "Bright 3-room apartment at "A light-filled living room with uninterrupted views of the peaks, ideal for your winter evenings by the fire."
Every detail counts: the art of arousing desire
Selling isn't about posting an ad and hoping. It's about build a desiretrigger a projection, telling the story of what good living is all about.
Your objective: attract, interest, convert.
📌 This involves:
A visual strategy (professional photos, carefully crafted atmosphere)
Storytelling aligned with the target profile (second home, investor, young couple)
Appropriate distribution (property websites + social networks + buyer database)
