What could waiting for a higher price cost you?
San Diego County’s median home sale price was $899,900 in October 2026. If your home is worth that amount and you owe 80% of its value ($719,920) at an illustrative 7.11% rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage, here’s what one extra month of ownership could cost.
Waiting three months for an above-market offer could cost you about $18,400 in carrying costs, and your home could still be unsold.
Illustrative monthly costs
Mortgage interest $4,266 · Property taxes $825
Homeowners insurance $200 · HOA dues $300 (if applicable)
Utilities $250 · Maintenance allowance $300
About $6,140 for one extra month or $18,400 for three. Mortgage principal is separate because it reduces your loan balance.
The right asking price can get buyers competing. When we price your home at market value or slightly below, it can draw more qualified buyers to see it and make offers. When buyers compete for the same home, they may improve their offers and push the final sale price above the asking price.
Use your actual loan balance and rate, tax bill, insurance premium, HOA dues, and other expenses to see what waiting could cost you. The example assumes an assessed value of $899,900 and a 1.10% property tax rate. Include any special assessments shown on your tax bill.

Why homes fail to sell—and what I would change
1. The price was not competitive
Buyers found better value in competing homes.
What I would do: Compare recent sales and current alternatives, then recommend a price supported by the evidence.
2. The condition did not justify the price
Repairs or dated finishes made the home less appealing at its asking price.
What I would do: Compare targeted improvements with selling as-is, using repair estimates and buyer feedback.
3. The marketing fell short
Weak photos, missing details, or limited exposure failed to attract buyers.
What I would do: Audit the listing and its reach, then improve presentation, photography, and distribution.
4. Showings were too difficult
Restricted hours or unanswered requests kept interested buyers from touring.
What I would do: Review missed appointments and establish a practical showing and response plan.
5. The strategy did not adjust
Feedback repeated and competing homes sold, but the listing barely changed.
What I would do: Set regular reviews and recommend specific changes to price, preparation, or marketing.
6. The accepted offer fell through
Inspection, financing, appraisal, or unresolved terms prevented closing.
What I would do: Identify why the contract ended and address that problem before the next sale attempt.
Compare an investor cash offer
I can request a cash offer from an investor, if available. An offer and its price are not guaranteed. We compare the actual price and terms with marketing your home to the full market.
I help you compare estimated net proceeds, preparation and carrying costs, offer conditions, and closing dates. You decide whether the investor’s cash offer or a full-market sale better serves your goals.
Questions worth asking
Do I automatically need to lower the price?
No. I compare the home with recent sales and competing listings, then review showings, objections, and offers. If the evidence points to price, I explain the recommended adjustment and what it is intended to accomplish.
What if my previous sale fell through?
We identify why it ended before relisting. Inspection findings may call for repairs or estimates; financing or appraisal problems may require a closer review of the next offer. The relaunch should address the actual obstacle.
How does your 60-day guarantee work?
We establish the agreed market-value price and review the written guarantee terms before the listing begins. The guarantee stated above applies to the commission contribution at closing.
Can I compare a cash offer with relisting?
I can request an investor offer, but an offer is not promised. We compare actual net proceeds, preparation and carrying costs, conditions, proof of funds, and closing dates with a full-market sale.
Should I repair the home or relist immediately?
First identify what needs to change and how long it will take. Compare repair estimates and carrying costs with the likely benefit. A new listing date alone does not fix weak presentation, difficult access, or an uncompetitive price.
How will I know whether the new plan is working?
We agree on a communication schedule and review inquiries, showings, feedback, offers, and competing listings. You receive specific recommendations when pricing, presentation, marketing, or access needs to change.
Your next listing should have a clear plan
Bring your property address, timeline, previous listing, and any feedback or offers. We’ll identify the decisions that matter before you sign another listing agreement. Learn more about how I market your home and my approach to selling.
