I’m getting 2–3 calls a week lately from homeowners who already have their property listed with another agent but are frustrated by the lack of showings and buyer activity.
One of the first things I do is take a look at the listing and compare it with what buyers are actually seeing and buying in today’s market. Quite often, the problem isn’t a lack of advertising or exposure. It’s the price.
A home can have professional photos, internet exposure, open houses and plenty of marketing—but if buyers believe the price is too high compared with the alternatives, they simply move on to the next property. And the longer a home sits on the market, the harder it can become. Buyers start wondering, “Why hasn’t this sold?”
The goal shouldn’t be to tell a seller the highest price they want to hear just to get the listing. The goal should be to determine a realistic market value and develop a pricing strategy that gives the property the best opportunity to sell.
If your home has been on the market and you’re wondering why you’re not getting the activity you expected, I’m always happy to give you a straightforward second opinion.
No pressure. Just nearly four decades of experience selling real estate in the Upper Valley.
Redfin says pending home sales fell 3.5% week over week to their lowest level in nearly three years as higher borrowing costs continue to restrain demand.
