Winning Strategy in a Shifting Market: How Smart Sellers Stay Ahead
The real estate market is shifting — and smart sellers know that timing and strategy make all the difference. With inventory rising, sales remaining steady, and prices showing signs of softening, it’s more important than ever to approach selling your home with a clear plan.
What’s Happening in the Market?
In Q3, Northern Virginia saw inventory rise by 20%, while sales remained relatively flat. This shift is creating early signs of a buyer’s market and could put downward pressure on prices in the months ahead.
For homeowners looking to sell, this means that pricing, preparation, and marketing need to be smarter than ever. Those who adapt will still find success and in many cases, can come out ahead of the market.
How Our Team Helps Sellers Win
At The Casey Samson Team, we’ve developed a strategy that works, even in a changing market. Our approach focuses on three pillars:
1. Smart Pricing: Getting your home in front of the right buyers at the right price from day one.
2. Strategic Preparation: Ensuring your home shows at its absolute best, highlighting features that drive multiple offers.
3. Proven Results: Delivering consistent outcomes, backed by recent success in the Northern Virginia market.
Proven Results in Action
Our team recently went 4 for 4 in just two weeks, with multiple offers on every home during the first week on the market. Remarkably, 75% of these homes sold non-contingent, a testament to our preparation and pricing strategy.
In Oakton and Oak Hill, there are currently 34 homes listed over $1.5M, yet only 4 sold in under 7 days. Out of those 4, The Casey Samson Team sold 3. This demonstrates that even in a market that’s beginning to favor buyers, a smart strategy can produce exceptional results.
