When your house doesn’t sell, it doesn’t just feel frustrating – it feels personal. You put time, money, and emotional energy into this move. You told your friends and family it was happening. And now that your listing has expired without a buyer? You’re left feeling stuck, and maybe even a little embarrassed.
And here’s what most agents won’t tell you. Over 70% of homeowners who re-list with a different agent sell their house.
Re-list with the same agent? That stat drops to only 50%, according to the latest data from REDX. That’s like leaving the fate of your sale to a coin toss. And that’s not good enough.
4. You Weren’t Willing To Negotiate
In this market, sellers who aren’t open to negotiating on things like closing costs, inspection repairs, or other concessions are often left behind. And if your last agent didn’t set that expectation with you, that’s a real shame. What we need to do now: Be willing to meet buyers where they are. The goal is to get the deal done – and sometimes that means getting creative to help buyers cross the finish line. Home values have increased by over 55% over the last five years, so you likely have enough wiggle room to offer some perks without sacrificing your bottom line. If your house didn’t sell and your listing has expired, you don’t need to give up. You just need a better plan. And maybe, a better partner. Over 70% of homeowners who switch agents sell their house the second time. That’s not a coincidence. That’s strategy. If you’re ready for a proven approach, talk to a local agent so you know what to do differently – and why doing different things actually works. It’s time to get your move back on track.Bottom Line
