- Work with your Realtor in determining price. An over priced home is unlikely to attract buyers yet get an offer! If there is an offer it could likely result in a lower price. The first few weeks a house in on the market is when it will have the most activity. If the house is over priced, it will compete with houses at that higher level, which may have larger, newer, more luxurious features. As the house sits with no offer, the seller will eventually lower the price and may end up with an even lower price because buyers will wonder why the house has been sitting on the market for so long and may take that into account as they consider their offer.
