I’ve been selling real estate for a good long while now, like 25 years. So I’ve seen a thing or two and I’ve definitely learned the patterns of people and their stubbornness.
If you’ve got your house 50k overpriced and it’s not moving, there’s a reason. It’s not because “the right buyer” hasn’t seen it yet or because I’m not moving it, it’s because there are other things out there bigger or nicer, or both.
So at what point do you reevaluate and see that what you want isn’t what you’re going to get? You could wait it out and watch interest rates rise, watch the holiday lull come and go, watch the house you wanted to buy get sold to someone else because you couldn’t sell yours. Or, you could pay attention to what’s going on, use all the facts and feedback to adjust what you want to a realistic expectation of what you’re going to get.
If what you’re getting in life isn’t changing, what you want doesn’t matter. So being stubborn just makes you foolish. You miss out on other opportunities because being stubborn about it doesn’t change the facts.
If you’re not seeing the results you think you deserve, change what you want or change what you’re doing because more often than not, you can’t keep doing both.
