Why early success matters when selling your home
Thu, Jan 22, 2026
When homeowners think about selling a property, it’s easy to assume that success is determined at the end of the process by the final offer or the closing negotiations. In reality, most house sales are effectively won or lost long before that point.
The first few weeks of a property coming to market are critical. This is when genuine buyer attention is at its highest, when online portals are refreshed most frequently, and when serious, motivated buyers are actively watching for new opportunities. How a home is positioned during this early phase often determines not just how quickly it sells, but the final price achieved.
