We’re not in a pre-HouseSigma world anymore.
Today’s buyers have access to an incredible amount of information.
They can see:
-how long your home has been on the market
-previous listings
-cancelled listings
-price increases
-price reductions
-relists
-comparable sales
-neighbourhood trends
They can often tell when a seller is testing the market.
They can tell when a pricing strategy didn’t work.
And they can tell when a property has been sitting.
That’s why first impressions matter more than ever.
In many cases, the first few weeks on the market are when a home receives the most attention.
If the pricing isn’t aligned with the market, or the home isn’t presented properly, buyers don’t simply forget what they’ve seen.
The history stays attached to the listing.
And buyers are paying attention.
One of the biggest mistakes I see sellers make is assuming they can “always reduce later.”
Sometimes you can.
But the market often becomes less forgiving after buyers have already moved on.
Today’s buyers are informed.
They’re patient.
They’re comparing dozens of homes.
And they’re making decisions based on data as much as emotion.
That’s why preparation, pricing, and strategy matter more than ever.
The goal isn’t just getting your home on the market.
The goal is getting it sold while you still have the market’s attention.
