How Sellers Can Attract Buyers in Today’s Market

How Sellers Attract Buyers in Today’s Market (Starting with Price!)

Selling Your Home? Pricing It Right Is the #1 Key to Attracting Buyers

If your home has been sitting on the market longer than expected, or if you’re preparing to sell, the first thing you need to ask is: Are we priced right?

1. Why Pricing Is Everything

Buyers are savvier than ever. They have access to online home valuations, market trends, and they know when a home is overpriced.

❌ Overpricing Leads to Fewer Showings – Buyers may not even bother looking. ❌ Homes That Sit Too Long Look Stale – The longer a home stays on the market, the more buyers assume something is wrong. ❌ Lowball Offers Increase – Overpriced homes tend to attract lowball offers instead of competitive ones.

✅ The Right Price Creates Competition – Properly priced homes often get multiple offers, even in a slower market!

2. Consider Offering an Interest Rate Buydown

Instead of just lowering your price, here’s a powerful strategy: offer to buy down the buyer’s mortgage rate.

💡 Example: Instead of dropping your price from $400,000 to $390,000, spend that $10,000 on a rate buydown for the buyer. This makes the home more affordable and increases buyer interest.

👉 This is a game-changer, and most sellers aren’t doing it! Let’s discuss if it’s the right move for your home.

3. Make Your Home Stand Out with Smart Marketing

Beyond price, here’s how to attract buyers fast:

📸 Professional Photography & Video Tours – Over 90% of buyers look online first. 📲 Social Media Exposure – Targeted ads can put your home in front of the right buyers. 🏡 Minor Upgrades & Staging – Even small tweaks (fresh paint, landscaping) can make a huge difference.

4. What If Your Home Has Been Sitting Too Long?

If your listing has gone stale, it’s time to re-strategize:

🔄 Reevaluate Pricing & Market Conditions – Are you competing with new construction? 📢 Revamp Your Listing Strategy – Fresh photos, new marketing approach. 💰 Consider Offering Buyer Incentives – Closing cost assistance, rate buydowns, or pre-paid HOA fees.
