Strategy Q&A

Conversational Expert Intelligence

Q

Is my house really worth 15% less than 2022?

A

Strategy Team's Take:Yes. The 2022 peak was an anomaly. If you price for 2022, you won't sell. Price for 2026 velocity. Your first 14 days dictate your final price.

Q

Can I just wait for the spring market?

A

Strategy Team's Take:Everyone wait for the spring. That means more inventory. List in February or late March to beat the crowd.

Q

How much should I spend on staging?

A

Strategy Team's Take:Minimal. In 2026, buyers care more about the 'Mechanicals' (HVAC, Roof) and 'Mortgage Portability' than they do about paint.
