What happens if you list your home too high? The answer is… Nothing. No showings, No offers. Here’s why:

Thinking about pricing your home higher than market value? Here’s why that might backfire… When you price your home too high, you’re actually hurting your chances of getting offers. Here’s why:

  1. Buyers stick to their budget. Most buyers are shopping with a specific price range in mind. If your home price is too high, it won’t even show up in their search results.

 

  1. Your home won’t be competitive. If similar homes in your neighborhood are priced lower, buyers will choose them over yours, even if yours is worth more.

 

  1. Low traffic equals fewer eyes. The longer your home sits on the market, the less exposure it gets. No one wants to look at a stale listing that hasn’t had offers!

 

  1. Buyers start wondering what’s wrong. Homes that sit too long without offers often raise red flags. Buyers may think there’s something wrong with the property or that it’s overpriced.

 

  1. Reductions can make things worse if you start with a high price and have to drop it later, buyers may think they’re getting a discount but at a cost to your credibility.

 

  1. Serious buyers won’t waste time. When a property is overpriced, real, serious buyers will simply skip it. They’re already comparing prices and don’t want to overpay.

So, what’s the solution? Price it right from the start! The right price will attract more buyers, lead to more showings, and bring in serious offers.
