3 Mistakes to Avoid When Pricing Your Home to Sell

Pricing a home to sell isn’t about guessing—it’s about strategy. In a market like Greater Baton Rouge, pricing can determine how quickly you sell, how many offers you get, and how much money you ultimately walk away with.

Here are the top three pricing mistakes sellers make—and how to avoid them:

1. Letting Emotion Drive the Price

You’ve made memories in your home, and that emotional connection is powerful. But buyers see your home as a product. We’ll help you separate your emotions from the data.

2. Ignoring the Market

The best pricing strategy is grounded in current market trends—what homes in your area are selling for, how long they’re on the market, and what buyers are looking for.

We run a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using local comps, price-per-square-foot data, condition, location, and seasonality.

3. Refusing to Adjust

Even great homes sometimes sit too long due to pricing. If your home isn’t getting traffic or offers, we’ll reassess and pivot fast so you don’t miss out on serious buyers.
