Why Pricing Your Home Too High Could Be the Reason It’s Not Selling – Santa Clarita Real Estate Insights

First Responder Realtor | Connor with Honor | Defending Your Real Estate Interests with Integrity, Expertise, and Dedication Since 1998

In today’s episode of Connor with Honor, First Responder Realtor, we’re tackling a major reason why homes in Santa Clarita may not be selling—pricing them too high. As sellers, it’s tempting to shoot for the stars when setting a price, but an overinflated asking price can be the number one deterrent for potential buyers. When your home sits on the market for too long, it risks becoming stale, and you could end up getting far less than you hoped for.

The Santa Clarita real estate market is dynamic, and pricing your home strategically is key. In this episode, I break down the data from recent market reports to explain the effects of overpricing. You’ll learn why buyers are more informed than ever, armed with data, and how they can spot an overpriced property a mile away. I’ll explain how overpriced homes tend to sit on the market longer, which can ultimately lead to price reductions that hurt your bottom line.

I’ll also share real-world examples of homes that sat on the market far too long simply because their price was out of touch with what buyers were willing to pay. We’ll cover the ripple effect of these decisions: how an overpriced home affects buyer perception, limits foot traffic, and makes negotiations more difficult. On the flip side, I’ll show you the importance of pricing competitively right from the start, creating a sense of urgency and attracting multiple offers, which could even lead to a bidding war.

We’ll also dive into actionable tips for home sellers, discussing how to analyze market comps, the importance of working with an experienced real estate agent, and why paying attention to local trends is critical. We’ll talk about why getting emotional over the price can be a mistake and why pricing should be viewed as a strategic business decision.

Whether you’re a first-time seller or looking to re-list a home that didn’t sell the first time around, this episode offers a deep dive into the strategies you need to get your home sold faster and for top dollar. I’ll share why having the right agent to guide you is crucial to your success and how I can help you avoid these common pricing mistakes.
