The first 7 days on the market are crucial—serious buyers are searching, ready to make offers. Pricing too high might seem like a good strategy, but it often leads to less interest, longer time on the market, and ultimately a lower sale price.

A well-priced home attracts the right buyers quickly and creates the kind of demand that leads to stronger offers. The goal isn’t just to sell—it’s to sell at the best possible price.
