Don’t Let Your Home Turn into a Ghost Listing
It’s tempting to set a sky-high price when selling your home. After all, why not shoot for the stars, right? But here’s the reality — overpricing can turn your listing into a ghost, haunting the market for months without a serious offer.
Why Overpricing Can Backfire:
• Long Days on Market – Buyers start to wonder, “What’s wrong with this house?” when a home lingers on the market.
• Missed Opportunities – The right buyers never even see your home because it’s priced out of their range.
• Price Drops Look Desperate – Multiple reductions can signal to buyers that you’re just trying to offload the property, encouraging lowball offers.
The Better Strategy:
Instead of chasing a dream price, set a realistic listing price that reflects current market conditions. You’ll attract more serious buyers, reduce the time your home spends on the market, and increase your chances of getting a strong offer.
