“Let’s Price High and See What Happens” Usually Answers Its Own Question

 

It’s a common thought—and an expensive one.

Homes priced more than about 5% above market value tend to sit longer and, after price reductions, often sell for less than they would have if they were priced correctly from the start.

Why? Because buyers are watching new listings closely, especially here in Corona, CA. The first week on the market is when your home gets the most attention. Miss that window, and buyer leverage shifts fast.

That’s why pricing is a launch strategy, not a negotiation strategy.

Every successful sale comes down to three things:

  1. Correct pricing
  2. High-level marketing
  3. Smart preparation

I understand all three—and I use them intentionally to help homes sell faster and for more.

If you are planning to sell in Corona or surrounding Inland Empire areas, let's sit down before the sign goes up and discuss strategies.
