🔑 The #1 Mistake Sellers Make (and How to Avoid It)

When selling your home in Hampton Roads, the last thing you want to do is leave money on the table—or scare off serious buyers. But there’s one mistake that still happens way too often:

👉 Overpricing the home.

At Virginia 1st Realty Group, we’ve seen it time and time again. A seller lists high “just to see what happens,” and ends up chasing the market down with price cuts, stale days on market, and missed opportunities.

Here’s what happens when a home is priced too high:

• Fewer showings

• Longer time on the market

• Lowball offers

• Buyer skepticism

• Lost momentum

Now here’s what happens when you price it just right from the start:

• More traffic

• Stronger offers

• Better terms

• Faster closing

• Happy sellers 🙌

Today’s buyers are informed, and they compare value carefully. When your home stands out in photos and pricing, you're more likely to create competition—and competition leads to better results.
