Why 50% of Homes Are Selling for Under Asking and How To Avoid It

Understanding why strategic pricing matters in today’s market

If your selling strategy still assumes you’ll get multiple offers over asking, it’s time for a reset. The frenzied seller’s market is behind us – and here’s the data.

From Frenzy to “Normal”

Currently, about 50% of homes are selling below asking price. This market correction brings the housing market closer to historical norms, even if it feels different from the past few years.

Nearly half of homes are selling below asking – pricing is key

Why This Matters If You’re Selling Your House

Pricing correctly from the start is critical. Your first two weeks on the market determine serious buyer engagement. Incorrect pricing can make your listing stale, leading to lower offers.

The Ideal Formula

Sellers who adapt avoid price cuts and long listing times. Correct pricing plus staging and flexibility ensures a home sells at or above asking.

1. Prep Your House

Tackle repairs and touch-ups to make your home market-ready and attractive to buyers.

2. Price Strategically from Day One

Rely on real sales data from your agent rather than listing prices. The Listing Team knows what buyers in Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Weston, and Pembroke Pines are actually paying.

3. Stay Flexible

Be ready to negotiate on price, repairs, or closing costs – serious buyers expect give-and-take.

Bottom Line

Talk to a local agent today to price your home strategically. With The Listing Team, your home can sell quickly and for top value.
