Haunted by a Stale Listing? Here's How to Reposition for a Quick Sale

If your home has been on the market longer than expected with little traction, it may be time to refresh your strategy. Fall is the perfect time to breathe new life into a stale listing.

Warning Signs of a Stale Listing:

  • Fewer than five showings in two weeks.
  • No serious offers after 30+ days.
  • Negative feedback from buyers and agents.

Here’s How to Reignite Interest:

  • New photography: Weather and light change with the seasons. Capture your home in a new light – literally.
  • Revisit staging: Swap out summer decor for cozy, seasonal touches. Create warm, intimate spaces with throws, candles, and soft lighting.
  • Adjust the price. Sometimes a 1-3% reduction can open your home to a whole new pool of buyers.
  • Relaunch the listing: New MLS description, fresh marketing push, targeted social media campaign.

A stale listing doesn’t mean your home won’t sell. It just means it needs a new approach – and that’s exactly what we do best at luxeSOUTH Realty.
