Overpricing? It’s Quietly Killing Listings in MA Right Now
In this fast-moving market, many homeowners think they can "shoot for the moon" when pricing their home. But here’s what the latest Massachusetts data is showing:
Homes priced more than 5% above comparable sales are sitting on the market three times longer than correctly priced properties.
That kind of delay can hurt in multiple ways:
Fewer showings — Buyers often skip overpriced listings altogether.
Stale listing perception — The longer your home sits, the more leverage you lose.
Lower offers later — Extended market time often leads to price reductions and concessions.
On the flip side, strategically priced homes are receiving multiple offers — often within the first week — and many are closing over asking.
If you're open to it, we can have a quick chat to look at the pricing sweet spot that’s working for sellers right now — and the mistake most of them don’t realize they’re making until it costs them time and money.
👉 Just reply with “Pricing Strategy” and I’ll show you what most sellers miss — and how you can avoid it.
No pressure either way — this is just about seeing if it makes sense for your situation.
What if the strategy other agents are trying to copy… was something you could see first?
This isn’t hype. It’s just a sneak peek of how we position homes to sell smart — before they even hit the market.
I’m not saying others are copying us. I’m just saying… they’ve been asking how we did it.
