If your home is not selling, this becomes the key question.

When You Should Consider a Price Reduction

  • Low showing activity

  • No offers after 2–3 weeks

  • Consistent negative feedback

When It May Make Sense to Wait

  • Strong showing activity

  • Positive feedback

  • Market conditions improving

The Risk of Waiting Too Long

The longer a home sits:

  • The less interest it generates

  • The more buyers assume something is wrong

Final Thought

Price adjustments are strategic decisions—not setbacks.
