Success Story: Why the Right Price (and Patience) Pays Off
Selling a property can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. Sometimes it’s smooth sailing, and sometimes it takes longer to find the perfect buyer. This was exactly the case with one of our recent property sales in Waterlooville.
The property had been listed with other estate agents for quite some time. It needed a little personal touch, and despite the viewings, no offers were coming in. Understandably, the sellers decided to withdraw the property from the market, feeling it just wasn’t moving.
But here’s the twist…
Just before it was withdrawn, a viewer came to see it. Even after the property came off the market, that buyer couldn’t get it out of their head. They realised it was exactly the home they were looking for and decided to move forward with an offer.
This particular Waterlooville home first came onto the market on 7th August 2024. The real turning point came when we re-noted the property at the right price, and from there everything fell into place.
The Lesson: Why Listening to Your Estate Agent Matters
This story highlights why it’s so important to listen to your estate agent and make sure your property is priced correctly from the very start. An overpriced property can linger on the market, and the longer it sits there, the less attractive it becomes to potential buyers.
When you launch your home at the right price, you generate excitement, attract serious buyers, and increase your chances of selling quickly.
