Why Homes Don’t Sell: The Pricing Mistake That Costs Sellers Thousands

from RE radar · host Nathan Mathisen

If your home isn’t selling — or you’re worried about leaving money on the table — it almost always comes down to one thing: pricing. In this episode of RE radar, realtor Nathan Mathisen breaks down why pricing is the single most important decision you’ll make when selling your home, and how getting it wrong can cost you time, leverage, and ultimately thousands of dollars. You’ll learn: - Why overpricing actually leads to lower final sale prices - How buyers really interpret days on market and price reductions - Why assessed values and online estimates aren’t reliable pricing tools - What true comparable sales (comps) are — and how to use them - The real risk of “pricing high to leave room to negotiate” - Why strategic underpricing can actually help you sell for more We’ll also cover how the market — not your list price — ultimately determines your home’s value, and how creating competition among buyers is often the safest way to reach top dollar. Whether you’re thinking about selling your first home, moving up, downsizing, or just trying to better understand today’s housing market, this episode will give you a clear, practical edge. 📍 Thinking about selling in today’s market? Reach out to discuss your home’s value and pricing strategy.
