Make Sure Your Home Sells Next Year


Listen Later

A hard truth sits under the holiday sparkle: 4,934 homes sold in St. George this year, but 2,600 listings canceled or expired. If your home didn't sell the first time, you're not alone—and you're not stuck. We break down exactly why more than half of first attempts fail and show you the simple three-lever framework to recover: prepare, present, and price with purpose.

The Three Levers That Determine Success:

Most homes that sell find their buyer within 30 days of hitting the right price. If yours didn't, you likely missed on one of these three critical levers—and the good news is, all three are fixable.

PREPARATION — The quiet multiplier most sellers skip. Buyers don't compare your home to what it could be; they compare it to the 20 other homes they're touring this weekend. Small fixes and strategic updates create momentum that generic "marketing plans" can't overcome.

PRESENTATION — Your digital debut sets the tone before anyone walks through the door. Professional photography, twilight shots, drone angles, and a polished online presence aren't extras—they're the difference between 3 showings and 30.

PRICING — The fulcrum that creates urgency or collects dust. We challenge the costly trap of basing price on what you "need" rather than what the market will pay, and explain why disciplined pricing beats wishful thinking every time.

What You'll Learn:
Why 2,600 listings failed while 4,934 succeeded (the real data)
How global headlines matter less than local pricing discipline
The emotional cycle of change and motivation checks
Why "guide vs hero" matters when choosing an agent
A step-by-step audit to relaunch with confidence
Real-time demand signals and 30-day conversion windows
How to face the market with courage, not desperation
