The biggest mistake sellers make? Pricing too high "just to see what happens." π«
Here's the truth nobody tells you until it's too late π
There's a window when your listing is brand new to the market. Buyers are excited. Agents are watching. Notifications are going out. Everyone is paying attention.
That window is short.
And if your price is off, you don't just lose a few showings you lose THE window entirely.
Here's what actually happens when you overprice:
β Buyers scroll past because it doesn't compare well to similar homes in the price range β Agents stop booking showings because their clients have already seen "better value" elsewhere β Days on market creep up and buyers notice β You do a price reductionβ¦ and now buyers wonder what's wrong with it β You end up negotiating DOWN from an already-reduced price the worst position to be in.
