Watch the activity, not the calendar: showings without offers means adjust the home or terms; no showings means the price is wrong. Start with your specific area and price band. Lower price bands with lots of qualified buyers move quickly when priced correctly, while higher bands take longer simply because fewer buyers can afford them. In parts of Southern California, for instance, well-priced homes under a certain threshold often sell fast while luxury-tier homes sit. Your home will behave according to demand at your number, not a generic timeline. Our rule of thumb for reading the feedback: - Showings but no offers. The price is close, but the home, condition, or terms need adjusting. That is a nudge. - No showings at all. Almost always a pure price problem, and no amount of waiting fixes it. That is a siren. On how long to wait before dropping, a listing that generates traffic but no bites over a few weeks is giving you clear pricing feedback worth acting on. A listing that moved from about $925,000 to $915,000 (illustrative) after roughly six weeks sold near the adjusted number. Price to the comps and the buyer response you are actually seeing, and be willing to adjust when the feedback tells you something.
