Should I reduce my asking price or change agents?
Every owner hits this: is the price the issue, or the strategy and representation? Here’s how to tell which is holding you back and what you can do next.
Signs It’s a Pricing Issue
- Multiple inspections but no offers
- Consistent feedback: “nice home, but not at this price”
- Comparable sales suggest your price is high
- Buyers are making lowball offers, but lots of interest
Signs It’s an Agent/Campaign Issue
- Low or no inspection numbers
- Minimal follow-up, buyer feedback, or poor communication
- No tailored marketing or digital push
- No strategy for relaunch or re-targeting the campaign
How to Decide
- Review all agent-provided buyer feedback
- Ask for recent evidence from comparable local sales
- If you lack confidence or the market is telling a different story, consider getting a second opinion
What Next?
- Price may need to adjust if all signs point to overpricing
- If you’re receiving inconsistent communication, consider agent change – but ensure you understand your obligations and the process in Victoria
