In a buyer’s market, just putting a sign in the yard isn’t enough. Here’s some common mistakes sellers are making in today’s challenging market...
1. Sellers expecting “unicorn” pricing
Some sellers are still hoping for the post-COVID “unicorn” prices. But buyers today? They’re more price-conscious, especially with higher interest rates, and overpricing can lead to longer days on the market and, ultimately, a lower final sale price.
2. Sellers are skipping the prep work
Let’s be real—first impressions matter. Buyers are looking for move-in ready, and if a home doesn't look well-maintained or clean, buyers move on fast. The little things (like fresh paint and decluttering) go a long way.
3. Poor marketing strategy
Simply putting a home on the MLS isn’t enough anymore. A strong marketing strategy—think high-quality photos and video, strategic social media exposure, and strong agent representation make all the difference.
