June 27, 2014 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Contingencies in real estate can be confusing to people. The dictionary defines a contingency as “an event that may occur but that is not likely or intended; a possibility.” That’s what most people think when they hear the term.

The Danger of Overpricing Your Home ⚠️ Overprice The Danger of Overpricing Your Home ⚠️
Overpriced listings don't just sit longer—they sell for less than if they had been priced correctly from the start.
39% of all listings nationwide had price reductions in 2025. The typical home sold for nearly 4% under asking during peak season—the steepest discount in six years.
When a listing sits, buyers start to assume something is wrong, even when the only issue was the price. Multiple small reductions signal desperation and train buyers to wait for the next drop. One well-timed strategic correction is almost always more effective.
Pricing correctly from day one isn't conservative. It's strategic. ✅

Pre-Listing Inspections Change the Game 🦓Home in Pre-Listing Inspections Change the Game 🦓Home inspections remain one of the leading reasons deals fall apart. Financially stretched buyers aren't looking to absorb surprise repair costs — they're looking for reasons to walk away.The smartest move? Get a pre-listing inspection.For a few hundred dollars, you can identify and address issues on your timeline and terms — before a buyer's inspector turns a minor finding into a deal-killing negotiation. More agents and brokerages are actively encouraging this approach, recognizing that it gives sellers the opportunity to address repairs, set a fair price, and build buyer confidence before the listing even goes live.Photos win hearts. Data wins brains. Transparency wins deals. 🏠✅Link in bio - https://gghknoxville.com/what-makes-a-listing-stand-out-in-2026/Libby Guthrie, REALTOR® 🏡 | Cell: 865-364-0200 | GGHKnoxville.com
