If Your Home Hasn’t Sold Yet, Definitely Check the Price!
If Your Home Hasn’t Sold Yet… Definitely Check the Price! The residential housing market has been hot. Home sales have bounced back solidly. They’re now at their fourth highest pace over the past year. Demand has remained strong throughout spring. Many real estate professionals are reporting bidding wars. Many homes selling above listing price. What about your house?
If your house hasn’t sold, it could be the price.
If your home is on the market and you’re not receiving offers, look at your price. Pricing your home just 10% above market value dramatically cuts the number of prospective buyers. These potential buyers will never see your house. See chart below.
Bottom Line
The housing market is hot. If you are not seeing the results you want, sit down with your agent and revisit the pricing conversation.
