When it’s time to sell, every homeowner wants to get the most money possible. It’s tempting to start a little higher “just to see what happens.” But here’s the truth: pricing high usually backfires — especially in today’s competitive Arizona market.
At Shea Preferred Realty Group, we’ve seen it time and time again. Homes that are priced right from day one attract more attention, more offers, and ultimately sell for more than those that start high and chase the market down.
Let’s break down why.
Overpricing Hurts Your Momentum
The first two weeks your home is on the market are the most important. That’s when your listing is new, fresh, and at the top of every buyer’s search. If you’re overpriced, serious buyers won’t even schedule a showing — they’ll assume you’re not realistic or that your home is out of reach.
As the days on market start to add up, your home loses its “new listing” excitement, and buyers begin to wonder what’s wrong with it.
Fewer Showings = Fewer Offers
Overpriced homes get skipped in search filters and skipped on showing lists. Fewer eyes on your home means fewer chances to fall in love — and fewer opportunities for competition between buyers, which is what drives prices up.
Lowball Offers & Price Reductions
Eventually, sellers who start too high end up making multiple price reductions. When buyers see those drops, they assume the seller is desperate — and the offers come in lower than ever.
In the end, the home that started high often sells for less than if it had been priced correctly from the start.
