80% of homeowners still expect to get their asking price or more when they sell. But right now, only about 40% actually do.

That might sound surprising, but it’s not. It’s normal.

The issue is where those outdating pricing expectations are coming from.

Some sellers are still pricing high just to “see what happens.” And that strategy doesn’t work now that inventory has grown.

When a house is priced above where it should be today, buyers don’t negotiate. They move on to other options.

That’s when homes sit, and sellers have to slash prices – sometimes below what they could’ve gotten if they’d just priced right from the start.

That’s why the sellers getting the best results right now are doing something different.

They’re pricing at (or even slightly below) market value from day 1. Because that’s what creates demand early and puts you in a position to sell faster… and potentially for more.

So don’t price based on the past. Price for...

The Pricing Mistake That Could Cost You Your Sale

A lot of homeowners think they can list high now and negotiate later, but that’s a mistake that costs them. And it’s the reason only 4 out of every 10 sellers are getting their asking price or more.

If you want to be in that group, it starts with getting the price right from day one.

Let’s connect so we can make sure you are.

Most sellers come into the market with one number in mind. And it’s often the one that costs them the most.

Foreclosures are up, but don't panic.

Yes, filings have risen over the past year. But zoom out and look at the full picture.

We're still below historical norms – and nowhere near levels seen around 2008.
This isn't a crash. It's the market returning to normal after foreclosures were artificially low during the pandemic.

And here's something else worth knowing. These are filings. Not all of them will actually turn into completed foreclosures.

Why do some homes sell fast. While others sit?

It’s not just the market.

Right now, the typical home is still going under contract in about 19 days – and some in as little as a week.

So, homes are still selling. Just not all of them. Some are even selling quickly.

The difference? Buyers are more selective than they’ve been in years. They’re paying attention to price, condition, and how a home shows online before they ever step inside.

That means the homes that feel move-in ready and priced right are still getting strong interest, even now. But the homes that aren’t? They sit.

If you’re thinking about selling, the question isn’t just “will it sell?” It’s “how will it stack up?”
