Would You Skip Over a House Sitting for Months

Be honest. Would you scroll past a house that’s been listed and sitting for months?

A few years ago, that made sense. Today, not so much.

Homes are taking longer to sell across the board. On average, it takes 73 days right now – which is typical for this time of year.

It may have been priced a little high, launched into heavy competition, or just didn’t stand out online.
And here’s what many buyers miss: sellers who’ve been waiting are often more open to negotiating.
So, before you scroll past, take a second look. Sometimes the best opportunity is the one everyone else skipped.
