The Biggest Mistake Sellers Make
Overpricing Your Home
Many sellers fall into the trap of overpricing their property, believing it will give them more room to negotiate. In reality, an overpriced home sits on the market longer, becomes less desirable, and ultimately sells for less than it’s worth.
👉 Pro Tip: Work with a trusted real estate advisor to price your home competitively. They’ll assess market conditions, comparable sales, and buyer demand to set the right price.
What’s Different in 2025?
The 2025 market is shaping up to favor buyers with rising inventory and stable interest rates. While this gives buyers more options, it also means sellers need to be strategic to stand out.
Key Market Trends in 2025:
Increased Inventory: More homes on the market mean more competition for sellers.
Buyers Expect Move-In Ready Homes: Small upgrades like fresh paint and updated fixtures can make a big impact.
Digital Marketing is Essential: High-quality photography, virtual tours, and online listings are no longer optional—they’re critical.
