What if your neighbor lists for less?

When a nearby home hits the market at a lower price, it can feel like a curveball—but don’t panic. It’s important to remember that your competition isn’t just past sales (comps), but also current active listings.

Buyers shop in real time, comparing your home to others currently available. That means pricing strategy should consider both recent sales and what’s on the market right now. A well-presented, well-priced home can still shine—even if a neighbor lists lower.

Lean on your agent’s expertise to evaluate how your home stacks up and make smart adjustments if needed. Pricing is a strategy, not a one-time decision.
