How to Price Your Home Right in Today’s Market (Without Leaving Money on the Table)

Pricing your home is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when selling. Price too high, and it might sit on the market. Price too low, and you could leave money behind.

So… how do you price your home just right—especially in a shifting market like The Woodlands?Here’s what I tell my sellers.

1. 📊 Don’t Rely on Online Estimators Alone

Zillow, Redfin, and other sites offer ballpark numbers—but they don’t account for local demand, recent renovations, or condition.

💡 Tip: Use a local market analysis for a more accurate valuation. (I offer this for free!)

2. 🏡 Compare Similar Homes (Comps)

Look at homes that are:

• Within 1 mile of your property

• Sold in the past 90–180 days

• Similar in size, layout, and condition

3. 📉 Avoid “Wish Pricing”

Every seller wants top dollar—but setting a dream price can backfire. A home that sits on the market too long may get overlooked or receive lowball offers.

Strategic pricing attracts more interest and can lead to competitive offers—sometimes even above asking!

4. ⏳ Consider Market Timing

Homes tend to sell faster in the spring and summer, but smart pricing is even more important in the fall or winter.

Right now in The Woodlands:

• Inventory is still low

• Buyers are cautious due to interest rates

• Clean, well-priced homes are still moving quickly

5. ✅ Work With a Local Realtor Who Knows the Market

Every neighborhood is different. A price that works in Creekside Park might be too high for Harper’s Landing.

As a local Realtor in The Woodlands, I provide:

• Custom pricing strategy

• Real-time data analysis

• Full-service listing marketing
