🏠The Price is Right—Why Listing Your Home Correctly Matters
When it comes time to list your home, pricing it right from the beginning is one of the most important decisions you'll make. It’s not just about what you think your home is worth—it’s about how buyers find and perceive your home.
Let me explain why overpricing—even just a little—can work against you.
Most buyers are set up on automatic searches.
Realtors typically set their clients up with auto-emails that send listings matching their price range. So if your home is priced above what it should be, even by a few thousand dollars, it might never even hit the radar of buyers who would otherwise be interested.
What happens then?
-
Fewer eyes on your listing
-
Fewer showings
-
More days on market
-
And eventually, that nagging question: “Why hasn’t it sold yet? What’s wrong with it?”
Once a listing lingers too long, price reductions can feel like red flags to buyers—even when your home is beautiful and well-maintained.
The bottom line?
Pricing your home right from day one creates momentum, attracts serious buyers, and leads to stronger offers. It’s a strategy that sets you up for success.
