A quick real-life story about why pricing your home right matters π
I listed a home in Fargo back in 2022 for $530,000. Not my suggested list price. We adjusted the price down to $500,000, but it sat on the market. The seller grew frustrated and decided to rent it instead.
Fast forward to 2024 β they listed again with a different agent at $525,000. Same result. Price reductions down to $500,000β¦ still no sale.
Later in 2024, it was relisted at $485,000. Still no sale.
In 2025, it hit the market again at $470,000β¦ and finally sold 4 months later for $425,000.
π Four agents
π Three years
π From $530,000 down to $425,000
The takeaway?
The market always wins. Pricing too high doesnβt just delay the sale β it can cost you tens of thousands.
If youβre thinking about selling, getting the price right from day one makes all the difference.
