Properties that linger on the market face tangible disadvantages. Michael Tomadakis explains that in Melbourne’s inner-north, stale listings lose their ‘new to market’ excitement, see reduced buyer urgency, and often attract bargain hunters rather than serious buyers. The longer your home sits unsold, the more likely offers will be below original expectations. Buyers sense lost momentum and may suspect deeper issues (even if none exist). Michael’s advice: monitor campaign progress, stay responsive to market data, and adjust strategy early to avoid listing fatigue.
