Everyone thinks their home is worth a bit more, don't they?
The kitchen you refitted. The garden you landscaped. The 'potential' every owner insists buyers will see.
But here's the hard truth.
Buyers dont pay for your memories. They pay for their reality.
When a property is overpriced, you don't just waste time .. you lose momentum.
Your best buyers see it first, compare it, and move on.
By the time you reduce, those buyers have already bought something else.
In fact, homes launched at the right price from day one sell faster and achieve closer to asking price than those that start too high and chase the market down later.
Overpricing doesn't protect your equity, it erodes it.
So before you list, ask your agent to show you not just what's on the market, but what's actually sold.
That's where the truth lives.
