It is difficult to imagine that it was only half a decade ago when banks and financial institutions seemed they had a bottomless pit of cash for the loan. That was actually the problem-it was too easy to get a loan. Interest rates soared through the roof, and people were left unable to how they are going to pay their mortgages.

Suddenly, thousands of people were thinking, "I need to sell my house fast!" With so much competition, it was a tough real estate market. There were signs of improvement; Home sales increased for 72,100 in July, which is double digits in January, according to: LSL/Acadametrics house price index.

But it's still a volatile housing market, and to be able to sell your House fast, you'd think out of the box. Here are five unusual, bordering on desperate, (some of them slightly higher) ways to sell a home.

1. Sell your House for a home buyer in cash.

As John Fingleton, chief executive of the Office of Fair Trading said, "promoting new business models, online real estate agents and private seller platforms competitive pressure may need to know about traditional models and bring better value for buyers and sellers.

2. Run a lottery.

This marketing technique requires a lot of hard work. The average price for a House UK is 162, 000, thereby each lottery ticket is sold at 25, you would need to sell 6,500 tickets for that amount. You may need to sell in restaurants, pubs, shops, railway stations and on the streets. As in any lottery, the lucky winner gets the home.

However, Ticket revenue often lack the asking price, especially on the most expensive property. What will the proceeds? Certainly do not want a crowd of protesters angry at your fingertips. One way to solve this dilemma is to give away a prize money, whatever is left of the proceeds from ticket sales after deduction of costs. Be careful not to get arrested for breaking the laws of the game though.

3. beyond the classified ads, advertise in unexpected places.

Is free of charge. Has millions of viewers. And it works. Businesses owned also known, brokers and Realtors have made their video and posted on YouTube, the video sharing site more popular in the world. With just a digital camera and a simple editing software, you can create your own video-the best of course-and catchier post on YouTube. Then you can market it by sending the link on Craigslist and Facebook, and you are e-mailing to friends. Beats paying for a post on network TV. But if you have the budget, you can also put a billboard along a main road. Is great exposure and especially if you're from a small town, not really costs a fortune.

4. auction with a twist.

Auctions to sell houses is actually very common practice, but a poster on a forum online community shared a story that he had read in one of the documents free in London. Read the headline: a 175, 000 Garden Flat for only 70? "

According to the post, was 70 to take part in the auction, and the bidder has the right to tender up to 200 in the whole cents from 1 p. When enough people are registered to cover the asking price and the cost of the sale, the seller was the home of award to the tenderer with the "lowest unique bid." It is "deemed to have an element of skill," according to the book, so there is a lottery and are not covered by the laws of the game.

5. attract attention with gimmicks intelligent and unusual.

A small broker in Florida once rented a cart of milk and parked in front of his house. This simple trick tripled the amount of traffic to his "open house", had three offers and the House sold in nine days to $ 23,000 (15, 000) above the asking price.

Some people offer free pizza and beer for a year, while Rick Hill, who owned a 1, 150, 000 house in Hockley, Essex, gave away a Lamborghini heritage as much as 150, 000. Beat this though-Ian Usher, from Darlington, put his entire life in Australia for sale on eBay. Turns out his house, car, work and friends was worth 192 000, although the deal fell into reality.
