Sellers: Your Indecision Could Cost You Tens of Thousands

Tariffs. If you weren’t familiar with them before, you certainly are now. But did you know that they’re also going to affect the real estate market? 

Of note, 35% of on-market homes have experienced a price drop, which is more than any April in the last 10 years. What’s worse? With the tariffs, this number is expected to increase even more—leading you to go from itching to put up the “For Sale” sign to second-guessing everything. 

You’re torn between “Sell now before prices drop!” and “Wait, what if I could get more?” It’s a vicious tug-of-war in your gut – and it’s keeping you up at night.

Listen, I get it. Selling your home is emotional even in calm times, let alone now. But here’s the cold, hard truth: while you’re stuck in indecision, the market is shifting under your feet. Don’t believe it? Look at what’s happening right now:

• Price Cuts Everywhere: 17.5% of home listings saw price reductions last month – the highest spring price-cut rate in nearly a decade​

• Sellers who waited too long are now slashing prices to lure buyers. Translation: hesitate now, pay later.
  
  

• Values Dropping Fast: In some once-hot cities, home values are plummeting. Miami, for example, saw prices drop almost 10% year-over-year​

• Even boomtown markets aren’t safe from this cooldown. Think it can’t happen in your neighborhood? Think again.
  
  

• Tariff Turmoil Chilling Buyers: Trade-war news has rattled everyone. Stocks tumble, recession whispers grow… and buyers get skittish. New home sales plunged 12% recently amid the uncertainty​

• Fewer buyers means tougher competition for your listing – and more power to the ones still shopping (i.e. more pressure on you to drop your price).
  
  

Overall, every day that you wait to list, you risk losing thousands as the market moves. The last thing you want is to chase the market downhill, reducing your price month after month. Instead, imagine being the seller who got ahead of the curve…who sold before the next guy had to cut his price.
