🏡 WEDNESDAY PROPERTY INSIGHT
Has that home been on the market too long?
Keep seeing the same property advertised? Before assuming there’s something wrong with it—or expecting a huge discount—it’s worth finding out the story behind the listing. 🔎
Private Property’s latest article highlights a few things buyers should consider:
✅ The listing date may not tell the whole story. A home could have been withdrawn and relisted.
✅ Compare similar properties. Selling times vary according to the area, property type and price range.
✅ Ask questions. Has the price changed? Were there previous offers, and why didn’t they proceed?
✅ Look beyond the number of days. Pricing, condition, presentation and a smaller pool of suitable buyers can all affect how quickly a home sells.
💡 For sellers: If interest has slowed, it may be time to review your asking price, presentation and marketing strategy with your agent.
