If you’re thinking about selling your home this fall, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is setting the price too high. While fall can be a strong selling season, buyers are savvy, and overpriced homes often sit on the market longer—ultimately costing you more.

Why Pricing Matters

Today’s buyers have easy access to online listings, neighborhood comps, and mortgage calculators. An overpriced home can quickly turn them away, even if the property has great features. The longer a home stays on the market, the more likely buyers are to assume something is wrong.

How to Set the Right Price

• Look at local comps: Focus on recently sold homes in your area—not just active listings.
  
  
• Factor in fall trends: The pace of the market often slows in October and November as the holidays approach.
  
  
• Be realistic: Emotional attachment can cloud judgment. Trust your Realtor to provide an objective market analysis.
  
  

The Benefits of Strategic Pricing

Homes priced competitively attract more buyers, create stronger interest, and can even spark multiple-offer situations. By avoiding overpricing, you’ll maximize your return and minimize the stress of having your home linger on the market.

Working with a Realtor who understands both the local market and military timelines is key. We know how important it is to sell quickly and for top dollar before the next set of PCS orders arrives.
