Are You Secretly Sabotaging Your Own Home Sale?
You’ve got a great home, a decent price, and it’s listed online — so why isn’t it selling? Truth is, many sellers unknowingly sabotage their own sale with silent deal-killers that send buyers running.
Here are a few I’ve seen way too often in Auburn and Opelika:
• Refusing to declutter – Buyers can’t imagine living there if all they see is your stuff.
• Staying home during showings – This is so uncomfortable for buyers. They’ll rush through or skip altogether.
• Overpricing because “Zillow said so” – The market sets the value — not a website algorithm.
• Leaving pets loose or odors untreated – Barking, litter boxes, or ‘wet dog’ smells = buyer exit stage left.
• Trying to negotiate every minor detail – If you nickel-and-dime everything, buyers will move on to an easier seller.
Even small missteps can tank your sale or drag it out for months. If your home isn’t selling, it may not be the market — it might be you.
