🚨 The #1 reason most homes don’t sell isn’t what you think.
It’s not the market.
It’s not the photos.
It’s not the advertising.
While there are many reasons a property may fail to sell, the most common one is simple…
Overpricing.
Yes, marketing, presentation, buyer demand, negotiation and market conditions all play a role in the outcome.
But when a property is priced above where buyers see value, they don’t negotiate. They don’t enquire. They simply move on to the next property.
The reality is that the first 30 days of a campaign are usually the most important. That’s when your property gets the highest level of attention from active buyers.
Get the price right and you create competition.
Get it wrong and you risk chasing the market down.
The goal isn’t to underprice a property or inflate expectations. The goal is to position it where buyers see value, create competition, and ultimately achieve the highest possible price the market is willing to pay.
An agent’s role is to strategically test the market, not overshoot it or undershoot it, while maximising the final net result for the seller.
