Want more for your home? Stop doing this!
Which move is smarter?
List high and “hope”? Or list low and actually sell?
Here’s the truth nobody likes to hear: Buyers are smarter than sellers give them credit for.
They’re sitting at home with MLS alerts, mortgage calculators, and Google at their fingertips. They know EXACTLY when your price doesn’t match reality. And then add in the fact that Canadians are polite. Too polite. If they think your price is a joke, they won’t call you out. They just won’t offer.
So what happens? Your listing sits. The longer it sits, the more people wonder what’s wrong with it. And then, when an offer finally comes… guess what? It’s LOWER than you ever wanted.
That’s the part that stings:
- List too high → you get stale → you get less.
- List sharp → you create urgency → you get more.
You don’t have to like it. But that’s how the game works in 2025.
