Why Homes Aren’t Selling Fast This Summer 2025

By The Goodman Taylor Team

We want to help you live the best life you can, one where you find your dream home, move to the perfect location, or receive a life-changing deal. We’ve done this for countless clients in the past, and we’d love to do it for you too. After all, there’s a reason why we’re one of the most trusted real estate teams in our area.

If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market this summer, there’s one thing you need to know: the rules have changed. What worked even a year ago isn’t working now, and sellers who don’t adjust are watching their homes sit unsold for weeks, sometimes months.

The market has shifted, and buyers have changed. Last year’s market was fast. Homes sold quickly, often with multiple offers. Now, things are different. Homes are staying on the market longer, and one of the biggest reasons is pricing. Many sellers are still listing their homes based on last year’s values. That no longer works.

Buyers today are doing their homework. They’re comparing prices, looking for value, and passing on anything that feels too high. If you want your home to move, pricing it correctly from day one is critical.

It might sound simple, but it matters: clean and clutter-free homes attract more interest. Buyers want to walk into a space that feels open, fresh, and ready. A home that feels lived-in or overfilled makes it harder for buyers to see themselves in it. Decluttering, deep cleaning, and staging are some of the easiest ways to make a strong impression.

Presentation is everything. Around 98% of buyers start their home search online. That means your home needs to grab attention before a buyer even steps inside. High-quality photos, a video walkthrough, and a clear floor plan are no longer optional. They’re expected.

If your listing lacks those elements, buyers will scroll past it. Professional marketing makes a real difference in how fast your home sells and how many buyers come through the door.

The summer market is more competitive, and every detail counts. You need someone who understands pricing, presentation, and how to position your home for the current conditions. I help sellers every day by providing clear guidance, expert marketing, and a hands-on approach that gets results.
