A lot of sellers are learning this the hard way right now:
Testing the price you want is not the same as pricing for the market you’re actually in.
Day 1, buyers are curious.
Day 15, they’re watching.
Day 30, they’ve either moved on, assumed something is wrong, or decided the seller isn’t serious.
In a slower market, your home doesn’t just sit.
It starts to disappear.
Not from the MLS.
From buyers minds.
And once that happens, the next conversation usually isn’t about how much you can get.
It’s about how much you’ll need to adjust to get buyers to care again.
