Episode 976: How to Stop Losing Listings When Days on Market Climbs

Episode 976 Published 4 weeks ago
Description

Why homes sit on the market for 53 days is one of the biggest questions real estate agents, home sellers, and even buyers are searching right now. The answer usually isn't bad luck, a bad house, or some mysterious algorithm. More often, it's simple. Sellers aren't getting enough communication, and silence fills in the blanks with the worst possible assumptions. The average home for sale now sits on the market for 53 days, compared to the 20-day sprint many agents got used to. That means nearly eight weeks of seller anxiety, second-guessing, checking showing alerts, refreshing Zillow, asking friends for opinions, and wondering why the phone isn't ringing. Every quiet week makes it easier for a client to think nothing is happening, even when you're working behind the scenes.

This video shows the weekly seller report I send every Friday to keep clients informed, reduce stress, and build confidence throughout the entire home selling process. It takes about ten minutes to fill out, yet it answers the same questions sellers ask over and over again before they ever send that awkward "Any updates?" text. You'll see the exact six sections I include every week, covering showing activity, MLS views, Zillow saves, Realtor.com traffic, buyer feedback, open house results, competing homes, new listings, pending homes, recent home sales, price reductions, real estate marketing, listing performance, and the next steps sellers should expect. Instead of leaving clients guessing, every report gives them a clear picture of what's happening in their local market and why.

Another section covers everything sellers never see, including your Facebook ads, Instagram marketing, real estate advertising, follow-up calls, conversations with buyer agents, listing promotion, social media marketing for real estate, open house preparation, email campaigns, and every bit of work happening after the sign goes in the yard. People can't appreciate work they never knew happened.

Inside this video you'll learn:

  • The 6-part weekly seller report that keeps sellers informed during longer days on market.
    • How to explain MLS data, online listing views, Zillow traffic, Realtor.com activity, and showing feedback in plain English.
    • Why tracking competing listings, pending sales, recently sold homes, and price changes helps sellers understand today's market.
    • The behind-the-scenes work every real estate professional should share before clients assume nothing happened all week.
