When you sell your home, pricing isn’t just about picking a number, it’s about creating the right strategy. In today’s market, that strategy has to be on point.
With the number of homes for sale increasing, buyers now have more options and can be more selective. If your price doesn’t align with similar homes on the market, they will likely pass it over for something else.
"Pricing right from the start is your best move – and a great agent can help make sure you do."
The Risks of Overpricing
Many sellers find out the hard way that pricing too high can lead to three unwanted outcomes:
Price reductions – This can bring attention back to your listing but may raise concerns with buyers about why it hasn’t sold.
Taking the home off the market – This often means putting your next chapter or move on hold.
Renting it out – While an option, becoming a landlord can be more work and responsibility than expected.
These are not the outcomes you set out for when you decided to sell.
Why Your Local Market Matters
"Regionally, price reductions in June were significantly more common in the South and West (23% of listings) than they were in the Northeast (13% of listings), reflecting the inventory divergence across these regions." – Realtor.com
Your home’s value and the right pricing approach depend on what’s happening in your area right now—not just on national trends or past sales in your neighborhood.
