The Cost of Overpricing Your Home

Writer's picture: Charles "Skip" GeiserCharles "Skip" Geiser




When you overprice your home, you may encounter the following costs:

- Longer time on the market

- Limited buyer interest

- Reduced chance of selling at all

- Potential need for price reductions

- Perception of a problem with the property


It's important to price your home accurately to attract the right buyers and maximize your chances of a successful sale.


When you set a high price for your home, you risk facing various consequences that can impact your selling process significantly. One of the primary drawbacks is that your property may linger on the market for an extended period, leading to increased carrying costs such as maintenance, utilities, and property taxes. Additionally, an inflated price tag can deter potential buyers, resulting in limited interest and fewer inquiries or showings.

Moreover, overpricing your home reduces the likelihood of a successful sale. Prospective buyers may perceive the high price as unreasonable, causing them to overlook your property entirely. In such cases, you might find yourself in a situation where you need to make price reductions to attract buyers, potentially leading to a lower final selling price than if you had priced it correctly from the beginning.

Furthermore, setting an unrealistic price for your home can create the perception that there are underlying issues with the property. Buyers may question why the price is so high compared to similar properties in the market, raising concerns about the condition or value of your home.

Therefore, it is crucial to accurately price your home based on market conditions, comparable sales, and the unique features of your property. By doing so, you can attract the right buyers who are willing to pay a fair market price, increasing your chances of a successful and timely sale while maximizing your return on investment.
