When the Market Shifts, Strategy Matters More Than Ever

A few years ago, inventory hit record lows and nearly every home sold fast, sometimes within days. But that market has changed. Listings are up almost 20% from this time last year, and in many Nashville neighborhoods, supply has returned to levels last seen in 2017–2019.

For today’s sellers, that means one thing: your home needs to stand out and capture attention from the moment it’s listed.

Buyers now have more options, and data from Realtor.com shows that most of the inventory growth is coming from homes that are still sitting on the market, not from new listings. The longer a property lingers, the more leverage shifts toward buyers.

So how do you make sure your home doesn’t become one of those lingering listings? It starts with understanding why some homes sell quickly and why others don’t.

Why Some Homes Sell and Others Sit

In today’s market, the secret to selling quickly is simple: make your home easy for buyers to say yes to.

That means pricing based on current conditions, not what a neighbor sold for three years ago. It means completing important repairs, staging the home beautifully, and ensuring every photo and showing reflects your property’s best version.

Homes that are priced right and presented well are still selling, often faster than expected. On the other hand, listings that fall short in those early days can stall. According to Redfin and HousingWire, the most common reasons sales stall include:

– Pricing the home too high from the start

– Skipping necessary repairs before listing

– Poor or absent staging

– Refusing to negotiate with buyers

– Limited showing availability

– Ineffective marketing or photos

A few years ago, these missteps mattered less because buyer demand was extreme. Today, they make all the difference.

Your First Few Weeks on the Market Are Everything

When inventory was scarce, sellers could test the market with higher prices and minimal prep. However, now that supply has increased, the first 14 days of your listing are crucial.

That’s when your property gets the most attention, online visibility, and showing traffic. Get the pricing or presentation wrong during that window, and your home risks being overlooked. Get it right, and it can sell quickly, often with stronger offers and more favorable terms.

A top realtor in Nashville knows how to position a property strategically from day one, ensuring it’s priced accurately, photographed to perfection, and marketed to the right buyers from the start.

How the Right Agent Helps Your Home Stand Out

Selling quickly isn’t about luck. It’s about partnership and expertise.

The best real estate agents in Nashville analyze current market data, assess comparable sales, and develop a marketing plan that resonates with today’s buyers. From pre-listing prep and professional staging to targeted online exposure, every detail matters.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):

“Home sellers without an agent are nearly twice as likely to say they didn’t accept an offer for at least three months; 53% of sellers who used an agent say they accepted an offer within a month of listing their home.”

Working with a trusted Nashville real estate agent ensures your property gets the attention it deserves and sells in less time, with fewer surprises.
