Know the Market—Don’t Test It: Why Pricing Your Home Right Matters More Than Ever
By Comflex Realty
When it comes to selling your home, there’s one truth that never changes: you only get one chance to make a first impression. And in real estate, that first impression is your listing price.
At Comflex Realty, we’ve helped hundreds of families across Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes, and the Greater Toronto Area navigate the market with confidence. One of the biggest mistakes we see? Sellers trying to “test” the market by pricing high, hoping to negotiate down later. It’s a risky move—and often a costly one.
🎯 Why Pricing Right Is Everything
The moment your home hits the market, it’s under the spotlight. Buyers and agents are watching. If your price is off—even by a little—you risk losing momentum, sitting on the market, and ultimately selling for less than you could have.
Here’s what happens when you price too high:
Fewer showings: Buyers skip overpriced listings.
Longer time on market: The longer your home sits, the more buyers wonder what’s wrong.
Stale listing syndrome: Price drops later on can make your home look desperate.
And when you price too low?
You might spark a bidding war—but that’s not guaranteed.
You could leave money on the table if the market doesn’t respond as expected.
🧠 The Smart Strategy: Price It Right from Day One
Pricing isn’t guesswork—it’s strategy. At Comflex, we analyze current market trends, comparable sales, and buyer behavior to pinpoint the sweet spot. Not too high. Not too low. Just right.
We don’t believe in testing the market. We believe in knowing it.
