Thinking of pricing high to “leave room to negotiate”?

Thinking of pricing high to “leave room to negotiate”?
Here’s what usually happens ⬇️
❌ Strategy: Price it high so there’s room to come down.
🔻 Result:
Very few or No showings
No offers
Buyers assume something’s wrong
Long days on market = lowball offers
✅ Solution: Price just below the most recent comparable to create urgency and competition.
💡 The right pricing strategy in this market is what you need to get sold.

How Long Is It Really Taking to Sell in Niagara?

How Long Is It Really Taking to Sell in Niagara?
If you’re thinking of listing your home, here’s a stat you can’t ignore…
Over the past 30 days in Niagara, houses have been taking 18 days to sell but this is not the same story in individual markets throughout Niagara. That’s if you’re priced right, presented well, and properly marketed.
What does that mean for you as a seller?
– Timing matters more than ever
– Preparation is key
– Strategy is non-negotiable
Don’t just list. List smart. I’m tracking the numbers weekly so you can make informed decisions—not guesses.
DM me now to chat about what your home could realistically sell for, and how long it may take based on today’s data.
