The Biggest Pricing Mistake Sellers Make

A common strategy is:

“Let’s price high and leave room to negotiate.”

In today’s market, that approach can actually backfire.

When a home is overpriced:

• Buyers hesitate

• Showings slow down

• The home sits longer

• Price reductions follow

And often, the final sale price ends up lower than if it had been priced correctly from the start.

Why the First 7–10 Days Matter Most

When you list your home, there’s a window of peak attention.

This is when:

• New buyers see your listing

• Agents bring their active clients

• Online traffic is highest

If your home is priced right during this window, it creates:

• Strong interest

• More showings

• Better offers

If it’s priced too high, buyers simply move on.
