Price Accordingly – The Market Has Shifted
Let’s be honest—things have changed.
If you’re still pricing your property like it’s 2021, you’re going to be disappointed.
Moody’s just sent up a “red flare” on the housing market. And while headlines like that can stir fear, they can also be a wake-up call.
As a real estate broker, here’s my message: It’s time to price accordingly.
We’re Not in the Pandemic Years Anymore
Remember that wild ride?
Stimulus money hit the streets like a firehose.
Interest rates were sitting on the floor.
Homes were flying off the market in 48 hours… sight unseen, all cash, no contingencies.
That was real. But it’s over.
Today’s Market Is Measured, Not Mania
Rates are back to reality—driven by the market, not manipulated by the Fed.
Buyers are pickier. They’re calculating.
They’re not desperate.
And if your price is out of line with today’s expectations? They’ll move on.
It’s Time to Calibrate
Expect a longer runway.
A home that sold in three days in 2021 might now take 30 to 45 days to attract the right buyer. That’s not slow. That’s normal.
That’s called real estate.
Set a Real Price, Not a Wish Price
Don’t chase yesterday’s numbers.
Don’t compare your home to the neighbor’s pandemic sale.
Price for what’s happening now.
Because what sells today isn’t the loudest listing—it’s the best value.
There’s Still a Butt for Every Seat
Yes, your buyer is out there.
But they’re cautious. They’re informed. They’re looking for value.
So clean it up. Stage it right. Price it well.
And be patient.
Real estate didn’t stop.
It just reset.
And if you reset with it—you’ll win.
Because the right home, at the right price, always finds the right buyer.
Even in a market with a red flare.
