Why Are D.C. Home Sellers So Stressed Out?



Today we’re going to talk about the stress that a lot of homeowners experience during the home selling process. In this hot real estate market, with a shortage of inventory and bidding wars, you’ll hear all the time from the media that the market is “on fire” and you would think selling a home would be as easy as pie.

However, that’s as far away from the truth as possible. In this hot seller’s market, sellers are more stressed than ever. Part of this is because they are more involved than ever. They can track their properties views online, and doing so constantly can create a lot of stress. 



In this hot seller’s market, sellers are more stressed than ever.


Of the home sellers that were surveyed, 83% said they got enormous value from their real estate agent, but still said they were stressed out. In that same study, 30% of homeowners underestimated how long it would take to sell and 76% of these surveyed homeowners had to re-price their house.

Selling a home is much more stressful than it used to be, but it doesn’t have to be. You can still be involved in your sale without all that stress. That’s why it’s vital that you have the right professional representing you, someone who can take the stress off you and handle the job.
