In this short video, Tampa real‑estate agent Jay Quigley shares a data‑driven pricing insight: roughly 80 % of homeowners expect to receive their asking price or more, yet only about 40 % actually achieve it. He explains that overpricing today does not lead to negotiations; instead, buyers simply move on, causing the property to linger on the market and eventually forcing the seller to cut the price—often below what could have been earned with a correct initial price. Quigley advises sellers who want to hit their target price to list at or slightly below current market value, a tactic that creates buyer demand, accelerates the sale, and can even result in a higher final price. He concludes with a call‑to‑action, inviting viewers to message him for personalized assistance.

Here's something a lot of agents won't tell you about today's market. About 80% of homeowners still expect to get their asking price or more when they sell, but only 40% actually do. Now hear me out, it's not a bad thing, it's normal. The trouble is not everyone understands that, and they don't realize how much the market's changed, so they're still pricing high just to see what happens. They don't realize that when a house is overpriced today, Buyers don't negotiate. They just move on. That's when the house sits and the homeowner ends up having to cut the price, sometimes below what they would have gotten if they just priced it right from the beginning. So here's what I'm telling my clients, because it actually works. If you want to sell for your target price, you want to list at or even slightly below market value. That's what actually creates demand and puts you in a position to sell faster and potentially for more. If you want to be part of the 40% with a winning strategy, Send me a message.
