5 Weird and Creative Marketing Ideas for a Quick House Sale

Read on to learn some weird and creative ways to sell your house. Remember: Weirdness draws attention.

1. Use Social Media to Your Advantage

Listing a home on Facebook is the norm these days, but you can take it a step further. Offering a reward to the friend whose sharing of the post leads to the sale of your home is a great way to reach a large number of potential buyers.

You can use a fraction of what you would pay a realtor as the cash reward. Hitting the share button is nothing when there’s a promise of a $1000 reward if your share leads to a sale. It’s a no-brainer!

2. Bury a St. Joseph Statue

If you’re a Catholic, you might be very familiar with this one. If not, you may consider this a crazy idea.

It has long been believed that if you bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down in your yard, your home will sell faster.

Try it! It’s been known to work!

3. Host a Live Tour of Your Home

You can go live on a number of social media platforms. If you have an aspiring actor in the family, a really cute dog or an adorable baby, feature them in the tour.

Make it an adventure to follow one of them around your home, highlighting the best features of your abode.

4. Host a Contest

Come up with a contest with your home as the prize. Believe it or not, people do this. It sounds risky, right? Done the right way though, it can work.

Estimate the value of your home. Figure out an entry fee and how many submissions you’ll need to clear the market value of your home. Keep in mind that you’ll want to check the local and state laws regarding contests.

5. Sweeten the Pot

Do you have something that is of value that you don’t necessarily want to take with you on your move? You can throw that in as a bonus for the buyer.

You may have a boat but are moving to a place where it will be of no use to you. Market your home with your boat as a “freebie”.
