Is Your Property Overpriced Or Is It the Market?

Is Your Property Overpriced Or Is It the Market?

Not getting the interest you expected? Fewer viewings, little feedback, and no offers can be frustrating, especially after all the build-up to launching your home.

The truth is, the first few weeks on the market are crucial. That’s when your property gets the most exposure.

So, if interest is low from the start, it’s usually a sign that something isn’t quite aligned and more often than not, it comes down to price.

Why does this happen?

  • Over-optimistic valuations – Some agents may suggest a higher figure to win your instruction
  • Natural optimism – It’s only right to aim high, but the market ultimately decides
  • Changing conditions – The market can shift between valuation and launch

What’s the impact? When a property is priced too high, buyers simply scroll past it. And the longer it sits on the market, the harder it can be to regain momentum, often leading to price reductions and, ultimately, a lower final sale price
