Episode notes
Sellers Delist After Unrealistic Pricing
- Sellers are delisting homes after pricing too high and failing to attract buyers, then relisting later hoping for better conditions.
- This behavior can freeze inventory and delay price discovery, worsening market imbalance.
New Homes Undercutting Existing Listings
- New home builders are cutting prices so aggressively that new homes can undercut comparable existing homes.
- That creates strong buyer preference for new construction and pressures existing-home comps downward.
Sellers Look Back While Buyers Look Forward
- Sellers look at past comps while buyers focus on current market alternatives, creating a valuation disconnect.
- That psychological gap can delay price adjustments until a rapid market re-pricing occurs.
