Don’t Be That Overpriced Seller: Longview Homeowners, Read This Before Listing Your House

by HOME REAL ESTATE Gena Graham

🚨 SELLERS, LET’S HAVE A REALITY CHECK 🚨

Alright Kalama, Ridgefield, Longview — and really, all of SW Washington — I’m about to say what most Realtors won’t dare:

👉 If your home is still sitting with no offers, no showings, no activity, it’s not the buyers, it’s not the market, it’s not bad luck. It’s your PRICE.

Buyers in Kalama are scrolling listings like it’s their full-time job. Ridgefield buyers are laser-focused, looking for that perfect property. Longview buyers? They know their numbers and they’ll write the offers — but only if the value matches the price. If your home isn’t moving, it’s because your pricing strategy missed the mark.

This is not rocket science. It’s real estate.

💡 The Truth About the SW Washington Market

Here’s the thing:

  • Homes in Kalama that are priced right? They’re moving FAST, some even with multiple offers.

  • Ridgefield homes with lifestyle marketing behind them? They’re commanding attention and setting records.

  • Longview properties that lean into strategy? They’re the ones turning heads and getting contracts signed.

But homes that are overpriced? They’re sitting. Gathering dust. Losing momentum by the day.

Ever scroll past a listing so stale it’s practically had time to grow cobwebs? Let’s be real—for sellers in Kalama, Ridgefield, Longview, and across SW Washington, a home that’s been on the market too long is like a tragic sitcom rerun no one asked for. Sure, maybe your home has stellar bones—but when it’s been sitting around for 70 days or more (yes, that’s the longest stretch since 2019!)—it starts to whisper: “No one wants me.” That’s not conjecture, that’s straight from the data-world: as of December 2024, half of all active listings had lingered on the market for 70+ days, and nearly a quarter had been there for 180 days or more nypost.com.

And here’s a little nugget of wisdom for you, courtesy of NAR—and you can insert a dramatic drumroll here—: “Homes priced appropriately tend to sell faster, while those lingering on the market often require price cuts up to 8.4 percent after 120 days.” So, in sitcom terms: overpricing is your home’s career-ending plot twist nar.realtor+4washingtonpost.com+4keepingcurrentmatters.com+4.

So let’s raise our coffee mugs and say it loud: “Sellers, if your home is collecting dust more than offers… it’s not the market, it’s the price.” And if you’re ready to turn that stale rerun into a trending series—well, you know who to call.
