THE 5 BIGGEST MISTAKES SELLERS MAKE IN A SHIFTING MARKET (AND HOW TO AVOID THEM)
The real estate market is always evolving, and sellers who don’t adjust to the market’s rhythm can risk leaving thousands on the table. Whether you're selling in Houston or beyond, a shifting market means it’s more important than ever to be strategic, informed, and partnered with the right real estate team.
Here are the five biggest mistakes sellers make in a changing market—and how The Sumbera Team helps you avoid them.
1. Overpricing the Home
The Mistake: Many sellers price based on emotion or past peak values.
The Fix: We use data-driven, real-time market insights to price your home competitively. The Sumbera Team crafts pricing strategies that attract buyers and maximize your return.
2. Skipping the Prep Work
The Mistake: Not staging or addressing minor repairs to “save money.”
The Fix: Our team provides expert prep advice—from curb appeal to walkthroughs—so your home makes a stunning first impression, both online and in person.
3. Ignoring Market Trends
The Mistake: Selling like it’s still a seller’s market when buyer behavior has shifted.
The Fix: The Sumbera Team constantly tracks market changes to adjust our marketing, pricing, and negotiation approach to stay ahead of buyer expectations.
4. Limited Exposure
The Mistake: Relying on “just listing it” instead of strategic marketing.
The Fix: We go beyond MLS. Your home is promoted through our wide-reaching digital campaigns, targeted social media ads, and open house strategies that drive real traffic.
5. Trying to Go It Alone
The Mistake: FSBO (For Sale By Owner) or choosing the cheapest agent to save money.
The Fix: With The Sumbera Team, you get more than an agent—you get a proven system, negotiation expertise, legal protection, and a support network that guarantees peace of mind and performance.
