If the homes are overpriced it is not too early to reduce.

Many markets are shifting, including mine. It seems like it happened overnight but it really didn't.  Patience is required.  It is taking a lot longer for homes to sell.

Six days for a price change is too soon. It signals not only that the seller is motivated but that the first price was too high. Pricing at or higher than the last comp in this market is not a good strategy.

It's never too soon to reduce, Peter. It's more of a challenge to find yourself chasing the market.

If it were in my market it would be a market shift.  Reducing price may help as well as making sure all has been done by seller to make the house 'stand out' in the market as well as top notch professional photos etc.

What is the average days on market in your area? Has it increased recently? Have you looked at your marketing and the photographs? Are these properties popular in your area? What are the seller circumstances? Will they give you permission to promote the price reduction as seller is motivated for a quick sale? Cook the stew to see what you are offering for a meal! Good luck!

You know your market, this pair of listings Peter Mohylsky . Ask a local hair dresser, random people at the Piggly Wiggly you bump into and they have lots of advice on why still for sale after only 6 DOM.

First I want to see the photographs and advise how to retake or reorder.

Open house for both this weekend big social media blitz, balloons, 30 direction signs for each,  full search lights...

You are far from Ian's path but I think the hurricane layered with rates is part of the little interest.

Are they priced too high to start? If so do not tick away a tiny $1000 reductions

Your link from your google site goes to a dud. I tried to lookup the listings also Realtor.com only shows solds not actives peter

Has anything gone on in your market to reduce the buyer pool temporarily?  Graduations absolutely killed our market out here for 3 weeks.  Then there were start of summer festivals.  Another 2 weeks.  Was a brutal June.

 

If there was nothing, it's the price.  If there was something, it may still be the price but likely was the thing.

To me, a price reduction after six days screams "Desperate" or "Overpriced". Are the properties staged, good curb appeal, professional photos, broker open and open house scheduled? If yes to all, time to ramp up your marketing campaign and get some showings to provide feedback about price, condition, etc.

"A little interest in one" - what were they interested in?

Price reductions should be the last thing people do especially if/when financing is advised, there are better ways to entice and benefit buyers, but it depends what they're interested in, and why, if interested, are they not viewing the home?

If property was priced properly, 6 days is too soon. Sounds like door number two is not getting any action, but it may not be just the price. Too little information for any reasonable advice.

I don't know anything about your market Peter Mohylsky but hereI rarely took action until a property had been on the market for two weeks. After two weeks I encouraged the Seller to sit at the table with me and brainstorm. Often we would go through the checklist we made at the signing of the listing agreement. Things like: improve the curb appeal, declutter, touch up the paint here and there, etc etc.

That depends on whether you thought the homes were over-priced to start with. If they were, lower the price and don't waste more days on market. If you really believe the price is right give it two weeks to see how much traction those properties get. If they don't get traction, then adjust the price.

I use the drip approach from the day the listing is being discussed letting the homeowner know that the market will let us know if there needs to be a price adjustment.  Each update or contact with the seller includes feedback on what the buyers and their agent say about the pricing.  I let them know that no  kind of marketing will get a house sold above what the market will bare and if the price isn't adjusted the listing will become stale and won't be shown.  It works.

Once upon a time I had a seller who didn't take an offer of $165,000 for a lot. She then proceeded to chase the market down until she sold it for $50,000. Be a leader, not a chaser.

The first week tells it all and that is why all homework (pun) must be done before hand, carefully considered and then launched with confidence. Doing less than that produces an opposite effect where doubt and price reductions lurk in the shadows. I like to go market or below and stand with confidence. To your question, 6 day changes reveal much to the public and buyers all NOT IN YOUR FAVOR. Tweek the marketing & up first impression
