Buyers usually ask two questions when they spot a listing: 1. How much is it? 2. How long has it been on the market?
If your home is sitting unsold for weeks—or worse, months—buyers begin to wonder: “What’s wrong with it?” Even if nothing is wrong, the perceived value drops simply because no one else has jumped on it.
Your listing only gets one true chance to make a great first impression. The most engaged buyers will see your home in the first 2 weeks it hits the market. If it’s overpriced, you risk missing that critical window—and once the listing goes stale, it’s an uphill battle to regain momentum.
Overpricing directly reduces the number of showings and online views. Why? Buyers search within their budget—and if your home is priced above what it's truly worth, you’re invisible to the right audience and unappealing to the rest.
Eventually, the only option becomes price reductions. And here’s the kicker: Stale listings often end up selling for less than market value. You’re no longer negotiating from a position of strength—you’re just trying to keep up.
Markets shift quickly. By the time you’ve reduced the price, your listing may already be overlooked. Even a perfectly staged, beautifully maintained home can struggle to sell if it’s priced wrong.
You deserve more than “testing the waters.” You deserve a strategy that sells.
