You listed your home, the photos look great, and you expected offers to roll in—but so far, crickets. It happens more often than you’d think. In today’s market, where buyers are more cautious and inventory is slowly increasing, the right price is everything. If your home isn’t getting showings or offers, it may be time to revisit your pricing strategy. At Onsite Real Estate Group, we help sellers in East Pierce County time price adjustments the smart way. Here’s how to know when it’s time for a price drop—and how to do it right.
The first 7–10 days after listing are critical. This is when your listing gets the most visibility online and the most attention from buyers and agents. If you’re seeing very few showings, little online engagement, or no inquiries in that first stretch, it’s usually a sign that buyers think your price is too high for the market.
If your home has been listed for more than 14–21 days without serious interest or an offer, it may be time to make a pricing move. Waiting too long can cause your listing to go stale, and buyers may start to wonder what’s wrong with the property. A well-timed price adjustment early on can generate renewed attention and even create urgency among buyers who passed it over the first time.
Pay attention to what buyers and agents are saying during showings—or why people aren’t booking them. If your home is clean, staged, and marketed well but still not moving, price is the most likely culprit. We can run updated comps and analyze feedback to help determine whether your price needs a minor tweak or a more significant correction.
Not all price reductions are created equal. Dropping by $1,000 or $2,000 won’t make much difference in search results or buyer perception. A better strategy is to reprice your home into the next search tier—say from $509,000 to $499,900—to reach a broader audience. The goal is to create a noticeable impact and bring in fresh eyes.
If your home still isn’t moving after a price adjustment, it may be time to revisit the overall listing strategy. This could include updating your photos, improving staging, rewording the listing description, or taking the home off the market temporarily to relaunch it with a fresh look. Every home and situation is different, but momentum matters—and we can help you rebuild it.
You don’t have to guess your way through this. At Onsite Real Estate Group, we combine local data, buyer behavior, and firsthand feedback to help you make smart, confident decisions. If your home isn’t getting the traction it deserves, let’s talk through your options and rework the strategy to get you moving again.
