Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Every week your home sits on the market costs you money. Here’s the timeline of what happens when you overprice in today’s South Florida market:
Weeks 1-4: “Fresh Listing” Phase
Your home gets maximum visibility from portal algorithms. Serious buyers see it, evaluate it, and pass. You’ve burned through your best audience at the wrong price.
Weeks 5-8: “Fading” Phase
Portal visibility drops as “new listing” boosts expire. Showing requests decrease. Your listing becomes background noise in search results.
Weeks 9-12: “The 90-Day Cliff”
Your property crosses the critical threshold. Buyers and agents start asking “what’s wrong with it?” The stigma of a stale listing attaches — and it’s nearly impossible to shake.
Beyond 90 Days: “Damage Control”
Price cuts become larger and more frequent. Each reduction is visible in listing history, creating a narrative of desperation. You’re now negotiating from weakness.
THE SOLUTION: Price to current reality from day one. Not the Zestimate. Not the 2022 peak. Not your neighbor’s asking price. Price to the most recent 30-60 day comparable sales.
