What does overpricing really cost?

It's tempting to "test" a high price. But homes that launch too high get fewer viewings, sit longer and often sell for less than if they'd been priced right. See the effect for yourself.

Most buyers search in price brackets. Price above the true value and you vanish from the searches of the very people who'd pay the most — while the listing quietly goes stale.

Illustrative model based on widely observed market behaviour — the first two to three weeks attract the most motivated buyers, and listings that linger typically sell below an accurately priced equivalent. Your valuation and local demand will determine the real numbers.
