Prayer for selling house

O Lord, Mighty in Power, I pray for our home to sell quickly. Lord, we put our trust in You and ask that You give our home curb appeal and make it attractive to buyers so when they see it, they fall in love with it. I pray that You guide the right buyers to us who are motivated and not overly difficult. Please remove any obstacles so they feel at ease with the purchase of our home and the sales process is completed smoothly without any unexpected issues. We need the money from the closing to help purchase our next home, and so we need the house to move quickly through the sales process. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer for the Right Buyer
O Exalted One, please send the right buyer to buy our home. With the precious memories that we have made in this house, we hope that the next family cherishes it as much as we do. I pray for a buyer who fills the home with a loving family where many more beautiful memories will be made. I pray for a buyer who takes pride in our home, maintains the house and its landscaping, and is kind to our neighbors. Please use this home of ours to be a happy sanctuary for the next family to live, laugh, and love. In Your Son’s name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer for Smooth Sales Process
God of the Universe, I pray that our home selling process goes very smoothly. Please help the buyer to stay committed to purchasing the house and not get cold feet during the process. I pray that with every piece of new information, they are pleased and want to continue forward. Please don’t let there be any issues with their personal situation, with getting financing or any reason for the buyers to back out. God, You are the First and the Last. I surrender control of every step of this process to You. Take this burden from my heart and bring joy to my soul. Amen.

Trusting God with the Sale of My Home Prayer
God of Enduring Faithfulness, during this uncertain time in my life when I am trying to sell my house, please keep me from worrying about whether it will sell or how long it will take. Encourage me to keep my faith strong and trust that You hold my future in Your hands. While the news rambles on about the real estate market, home sales, and interest rates, remind me to ignore the noise of the world and keep my eyes fixed on You. Set my sights on Your mercy and grace and calm my nerves, for I know You are in total control. I cast my anxiety on You, God, because You care for me. In Jesus’ loving name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer for Guidance as We Sell Our Home
Jesus, my Wise Counselor, instruct me and teach me in the way I should go in choosing a real estate agent to sell my home. Make my steps firms so that I do not fall. I do not know which agent to pick who will be skilled and work the hardest for me, but You do, Jesus. Show me these things which I do not know. Bring an agent into my life who knows the right way to stage my home, the right price to set, and how high I can stay in the price negotiations. Do not let me fall and uphold me with Your hand. I ask these things in Your name. Amen.

Prayer for Endurance During the Sale of Our Home
God, my Fortress, when unexpected showings come upon us in a moment’s notice, allow me to have the energy to clean, put away clutter, and stage my home so that buyers will want to make an offer on it. Help me not become overwhelmed with frustration or anxiety when the showings interrupt my life and come at inconvenient times. Help me to keep a positive attitude even when these showings do not result in an offer or even any reasonable feedback from the potential buyers about my home. God, set my mind on the final outcome so I will not grow weary and irritated with the continuous showings. Amen.

Prayer for Peace of Mind During the Sale of Our Home
Almighty God, I pray that You fill me with peace during the home sales process. You say that I should not be anxious about anything but present my requests to You and Your peace will guard my heart and mind. Send me Your peace, dear God. Send Your perfect peace which transcends all understanding to fill my mind and body so that I am not worried or overwhelmed with the paperwork, finding a buyer and strangers trampling throughout my home. I will not worry about tomorrow. I will take one day at a time and let You worry about tomorrow for me, Lord God. In Jesus’ all-powerful name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer for a Favorable Home Inspection
God of Victory, You say that everyone born of God overcomes the world. Give me victory, Lord God, in the home inspection process so that the inspector does not find any big problems with my home. I pray that the homebuyer is reasonable when reading the inspection report and does not demand costly repairs from me. Please bless all of us in this process so it goes smoothly. May the inspection settle any doubts by the homebuyer of the value of our home. Thank You for Your unfailing agape love and devotion. Lord God, grant us success! Amen.

Prayer for the Buyer’s Financing
God of Blessings, please be with the buyer of our home as they forge ahead in getting financing to purchase our home. Let the bank be fair and move quickly to process the loan. Set the buyer’s mind at ease and calm their nerves as they wait on the bank’s underwriting process. God, I ask that our appraisal comes back with a valuation that shows the home is fairly priced. Be with everyone involved in this sale and please let it all work out the way You plan for us. Our lives are in Your gracious and all-powerful hands. Amen.

Prayer for Family Unity During Home Selling Process
Loving and Gracious Father, during this uncertain and stressful time of selling our home, please guide my family with Your word, teachings, and promises. Permit us to not forget our mission as Christians. Keep our hearts centered on You, give us patience with each other, and help us to make lasting memories during this last season that we have together in our home. May our family unit grow stronger and more committed to each other and to You through this process. Amen.

When you are trying to sell your house you must first ask yourself a few questions.

1.  Why is my home for sale?  Did God direct me to do this?

2.  Is my home reasonably priced or am I being greedy?

3.  Is my house properly staged and does it look presentable so that someone would want to buy it?

4.  Do I have a good realtor?  The truth is sometimes it’s just best to stay away from family members or someone who just got their license and wants to practice on you!

You see, if God wants you to sell that house and move then you will sell the house really fast.  You’re not going to need to worry about the economy because God is bigger than that!  He can sell your house when no one else’s house is selling. So there is absolutely no need for you to have any fear that it will not sell.

(2 Timothy 1:7) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

You also can’t be too greedy expecting the buyer of your home to pay more than what is a reasonable asking price.  You need to do your home work and know what the comps are in your area.  What is the home worth?

(Leviticus 25:14) “‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.”

Yes!  We all want the wonderful testimony of how God blessed us in the sale of our home and we made so much money doing it BUT this should never be at the expense of taking advantage of someone else.  God is watching and this will not be pleasing to Him.  The money you made from being dishonest in that deal will be taken from you in so many other ways.  It’s just not worth it.  Be honest.

You want to make sure that your house is staged properly for a sale.  Bottom line, clean your house!  This is a simple thing but the truth is that most people neglect to consider that just by clearing away clutter and organizing their home, the sale can be quite quick.  If you have animals try to make sure your house doesn’t smell like the animal.  If you’re so accustomed to this, then ask a friend to tell  you honestly how your house looks and smells.  Invest in some plugins or something to clean the air and make your home pleasant.  It’s these little things that can make a big difference especially if you don’t have the money to paint or do other major repairs.

Do some research online about staging your home for sale and make sure to do all that you can to be ready for your buyer.

Find a realtor that has experience selling your type of house. The price range, the area and has a track record for selling homes.  It seems that everybody these days has a real estate license.  This doesn’t mean that you should make yourself the guinea pig!  Just because your family member has a real estate license doesn’t mean they should be selling your home.  If they are good at what they do, that’s fine.  Or if God told you to give them the listing.  You need to pray about this as well. Use wisdom.

Please keep this very important point in mind, you are only selling your house to one person. All you need is just one person.  You don’t have to worry about ratios of how many people need to look at your house before it is sold.  You just need one.  God can provide that one person for you with the first person that walks through the door.

So here are the prayers that you will need to get your house sold.

Praying to find a realtor

Heavenly Father, in obedience to you I am ready to sell my house.  Thank you for leading me to this point.  Guide me to finding the right realtor for this decision.  Direct my steps to the real estate agent that you wish to bless with my listing.  I pray that you will continue to build them up in wisdom, understanding and knowledge to list my house, give me good directions and finding the right buyer, in your name Jesus I pray, Amen!

Now it’s time to pray for your buyer

Prayer for the buyer of my house

Lord God, I pray for the buyer that you have for my house. Wherever they are right now Lord please begin to remove every obstacle that would prevent them from seeing my home.  Guide them here.  Give them the desire to want to live in my area.  Provide the financing they need to qualify to purchase this home at my asking price.  Get them pre approved and ready to close very quickly.  Bless them financially and prepare their hearts to care for this home as much as I cared for it.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

And, here is the final prayer which is one for you to sell your home

Prayer to Sell my home

Father God, thank you for blessing me with this home.  Thank you for the enjoyment that I received from it for the years that I have lived here.  Show me what I need to do to prepare it for sale.  I pray that my house will sell very fast.  I will not have any fear in my heart because I know that you have the right buyer lined up to purchase it.  I pray that you will grant me grace to be honest and not greedy in what I am asking.  I know that I only need one buyer and I ask that you will send them quickly.  I promise to tithe on the increase that you will bring from this sale and to honor you in this business dealings.  I also pray for the new place where you will be taking me.  That you will have it prepared for me that i will find much joy and peace in that new home, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We know that God will do an amazing thing in selling your home fast.  Remember, you don’t need any st. Joseph statues to sell your house you just need to pray, believe God and know that He will grant you the desires of your heart.

St Joseph prayer to sell house quickly

St. Joseph is frequently referred to as “The Real Estate Agent” because through him God may have a profound impact on people’s life, including the sale of a home and the reduction of financial stress.

A Saint. Joseph statue, typically measuring between 3 and 8 inches long, is purchased and buried in the front lawn as part of the ritual.

We discovered that this statue from the Catholic Company, which is a home package that goes with this prayer, is one of the most often utilised statues.

Many real estate agents that follow the ritual tend to bury it within 3 feet of the “For Sale” sign.

And many users who have found success with it believe that it should be buried head-down, facing the home.

“I truly believe that without St. Joe I wouldn’t have sold my houses within five days.! Three homes over the last 24 years. St. Joe still sits in my room and serves as a reminder of how blessed my life has been in all stages.”Loretta Kasehagen

From this point, it’s important to pray daily, using this prayer and the following sayings for the novena:

The prayer to sell a house

Step 1: Read and recite the prayer.

O, Saint Joseph, you who taught our Lord the carpenter’s trade, and saw to it that he was always properly housed, hear my earnest plea. I want you to help me now as you helped your foster-child Jesus, and as you have helped many others in the matter of housing. I wish to sell this [house/property] quickly, easily, and profitably and I implore you to grant my wish by bringing me a good buyer, one who is eager, compliant, and honest, and by letting nothing impede the rapid conclusion of the sale.

Dear Saint Joseph, I know you would do this for me out of the goodness of your heart and in your own good time, but my need is very great now and so I must make you hurry on my behalf.

Saint Joseph, I am going to place you in a difficult position with your head in darkness and you will suffer as our Lord suffered, until this [house/property] is sold. Then, Saint Joseph, i swear before the cross and God Almighty, that i will redeem you and you will receive my gratitude and a place of honour in my home.

Amen.

Step 2: Be aware of all the signs that come toward you to sell your house. And don’t be afraid to reach out for help – friends, family, colleagues. We can also help you if you need to sell your house fast, or check out this definitive guide on how to sell your house fast within a matter of days.

Step 3: Once the prayer is said, consider performing the novena, which are sayings that are done consecutively for 9 days and can be an effective way to get what you’re asking for:

Day 1: Oh God, guide of those who listen and helper of those who hear your voice, speak to me, as you did to St. Joseph, and help me accomplish the things you give me to do.

Day 2: O God, you love your people and bless the ordinary lives we quietly live. As you blessed St. Joseph, bless what I do, however, hidden and simple it may be, and let all I do be done with love.

Day 3: O God, ever faithful, you remember us always and in time reveal your blessings. Help me trust in you, as St. Joseph faithfully trusted, and never let me lose faith in the wonderful gifts you promise me.

Day 4: God of families, bless the family that’s mine. Keep us safe from harm, and never let evil come between us. Let peace remain in our hearts.

Day 5: O God, who loves children, be kind to our children today. Give them eyes of faith for seeing far, a loving heart for welcoming life, and a place always at your side.

Day 6: God of our heavenly home, bless our home on earth. Let the spirit of Mary and Joseph rest at our table, shape our words and actions, and bring blessing to our children.

Day 7: God, our Father, give your fatherly spirit to those who are fathers now. Like Joseph, give them hearts of devoted love for their wives and children and strength for forgiveness and patience.

Day 8: Give shelter, O God, to those who need it, and bring together families divided. Give us enough to eat, and decent work to earn our bread. Care for us, O God.

Day 9: Bless all families, O Lord especially those in need. Remembering the life of your Son, we pray for the poor, for those who lack a good home, for those in exile. Grant them a protector like Joseph, O God.

Performing this novena prayer to sell a house is offered as a sacrifice to God because it is a sign of devotion, during which the person praying asks for a request.

Putting your faith in St. Joseph and the prayer

Time and time again, the Bible has shown stories of how faith has prevailed above all.

For those that have used the status, done the ritual, and prayed, many truly believe that it worked for them as it should have, whether it was immediate or several months.

Such stories involved homeowners who needed to sell multiple properties, and after performing the prayer regularly, they were able to sell all of them.

By believe in it and having faith, their prayers had been answered.

What does the result look like?

Often times when someone does put their faith in St. Joseph to bring them aid and help them sell their house, they might be looking for only one type of solution.

There’s a good chance that the prayer will help you find a buyer that will fall in love with your home and you can profitably benefit from that sale.

However, in many dire cases, trying to sell your home in the most traditional route may not be the answer you need in that moment.

Consider this:

When there are circumstances that need you or your loved ones to sell their home and despite all your efforts and prayer the home still isn’t selling, what if there is in fact an answer that you aren’t seeing?

If you have already been praying, yet you’ve landed here to read the words on this page, it’s possible that fate brought us together.

Financial strain may require that you sell your property, and we are buyers of property.

If time has passed and your home hasn’t sold on the market, let us help you with selling your house. There must be a reason why you are reading these words.
