You may be hearing more homeowners are pulling their houses off the market. Maybe you're even worried that means we’re headed for a crash...

Here's what you should know.

There are 4 main reasons more sellers are de-listing right now – and none of them are “the market is about to crash.”

This trend is really about sellers adjusting to a market that needs the right price and the right prep.

And when a homeowner misses the mark on price or prep, sometimes taking a house off the market is a good way to take a beat and reset their strategy.

It’s not a warning sign of broader trouble to come.

If you have questions about something you’re hearing online or what something means for the market as a whole, reach out.

There’s a reason only 5% of sellers sell without an agent.

The ones who tried selling solo point to the same three sticking points – getting the price right, knowing how to prep the house, and selling on time.

That’s a lot to juggle alone. And getting any one of them wrong can cost you time, money, or both.

But a good agent handles all the hard parts.

So, let’s connect when you’re ready to move, and we’ll chat about what a smooth sale looks like for you.

That House That’s Been Sitting Could Be Your Best Shot at a Deal

A house sitting on the market isn’t always a glaring red flag. In today’s market, it may be your best opportunity yet.

For help deciding which lingering listings are actually worth a second look, let’s connect.

Open up a home search and you'll see them. Listings that have been on the market for two months. Three. Some longer.

The home that’s been sitting on the market for a few weeks? Maybe even a month? Don’t scroll past it just yet.

Your first instinct might be to assume there’s something wrong, but you could be missing out. Especially if finding a house in your budget has been your #1 challenge.

Homes that have been on the market longest are the ones you should be looking at first.

Because the longer a house sits, the more open the seller usually is to dropping the price or negotiating.

So, before you write off a listing that’s been around for a while, let’s connect. I can help you decide which homes are worth a second glance.
