Our brains are built to decide whether to persist or give up. This isn’t just about patience; it’s about weighing rewards against time spent. In real estate, this becomes complex due to emotional and financial stakes. Here’s how to navigate these choices:
When Waiting for Offers: You might feel discouraged if offers aren’t coming. However, waiting for the right buyer can lead to a better deal. It’s essential to check market conditions and your property’s appeal.
Considering a Price Reduction: If your home isn’t attracting buyers, you might hesitate to lower the price. Yet, quick action can reignite interest if your price is too high.
Low Traffic to Showings: Feeling defeated is easy when few people view your home. Before pulling your listing, consider if market conditions, not your home or agent, are the problem.
Delays in Escrow: Closing can be tricky with financing or paperwork issues after an offer. While canceling might be tempting, patience often resolves these issues.
