I wanted to encourage everyone out there with listings sitting on the market with lower activity. This home was on the market for 48 days. It is adorable, very clean, and meticulously prepared for the market, from the bones to the visual appeal. But… it was quiet. Very few showings. Almost no feedback. And no offers. Then when we hit the sweet spot with pricing, in the course of TWO DAYS, we received THREE offers and went under contract. This market is requiring patience, but it’s also requiring us to be incredibly intentional with marketing and pricing. My takeaway from this current market has been this: you want to be at the top of the competition in presentation while being one of the most compelling values in your price range.
Review the sales data. Review the active competition. Watch what buyers are actually responding to. And if the goal is to sell, be willing to position the home accordingly. I’m thankful I had a wise seller who observed the market with me, trusted the data, and was willing to respond decisively when the market spoke 😍 Sometimes it feels like nothing is happening… until suddenly, everything happens at once. Keep going!
