Zillow says your home is worth $1,500,000—but what if I told you relying on that number could actually cost you time, money, and serious buyer interest? Online estimates can feel convenient, but they’re often a silent trap that leaves sellers frustrated and disappointed. Why? Because those algorithms have never stepped foot inside your home. They haven’t seen your floorplan, upgrades, the views, or know your maintenance level. Old homes can also be a wild-card. And online estimates certainly don’t know the three similar homes nearby that sat on the market and never sold.
Pricing a home isn’t about guessing or hoping the market agrees with you. It’s about strategy, and understanding timing, buyer psychology, and your local market trends. When priced right, your home creates urgency. It grabs attention. It gets multiple buyers emotionally invested.
Overpricing? That can leave your home sitting stale on the market, forcing you into price reductions and giving buyers the impression something’s wrong. Underpricing without strategy can leave money on the table.
If you’re even thinking about selling, don’t play the guessing game. DM me “Homevalue” and I’ll send you a custom home value report based on real data—not just a computer guess—so you can price smart and sell strong.
