The HOLM Stretch | November 1, 2024
Thanks for stopping by!
October is a wrap! Can you believe we are coming to the end of 2024? As expected,we have certainly noticed the cooler weather, and the cooler market out there, but like always, things are still happening.
The #1 tip for homeowners considering selling soon…
After years of fiery bidding wars and homes going for six figures over the listing price, this market is all about having realistic expectations.
Meaning:
Prepare for a longer sales process and fewer instances of offers over the asking price.
While this shift might seem challenging, it also creates opportunities. Buyers today are more thoughtful, less rushed, and looking for value, which can lead to more serious offers.
Pricing your home correctly from the start has never been more critical. A well-priced home can still attract multiple offers, but overpricing may cause your listing to sit on the market longer, costing you both time and money.
This recalibration isn’t just good news for buyers—it suggests a healthier, more balanced market that can ultimately work in your favor when you partner with the right strategy.
We know that seller expectations are high, but it's crucial to align your expectations with the market realities.
