If you're thinking about putting your home on the market this fall, there's one mistake you want to avoid:

Testing the market with a high price.

Today's market is becoming much more sensitive to pricing. Realtor.com reports that the national median listing price has been declining year over year, while its mid-year forecast expects existing home prices to rise only 1.2% through the end of 2026.

What does that mean for sellers?

Buyers have less reason to overpay.

If your home is priced too high, buyers have plenty of other options. They can simply move on to the next listing.

That's why your launch price this fall needs to be based on today's competition, not what your neighbor sold for six months ago.

Look at what's actually selling. Understand your competition. Price strategically.

The goal isn't to test the market.

It's to create interest and let the market work in your favor.
