How to Price Your Home Right in 2025’s Shifting Market
Avoid the biggest pricing mistake sellers are still making this year.
Thinking about selling your home in Blaine or anywhere in Whatcom County? One word: pricing.
Price too high? You scare off buyers and sit stale.
Price too low? You leave money on the table.
2025’s market isn’t what it was even six months ago—interest rates, inventory, and buyer behavior have shifted. Pricing your home right from the start is your secret weapon.
The Mistake Sellers Are STILL Making
Overpricing. Yep, still happening.
Some sellers are stuck in 2021 fantasy pricing, hoping someone will fall in love and pay up. But today’s buyers?
They’ve got calculators in one hand and Zillow in the other—and they’re not biting unless the price is spot-on.
Whatcom County Example:
A home in Blaine priced $50K over comps sat for 43 days and needed 3 price drops. Meanwhile, a similar home priced right sold in 5 days with multiple offers.
How to Nail the Right Price
Here’s what you need:
A deep dive into local comps (not just the neighbor’s list price)
A read on current buyer demand and days-on-market
A strategic price that’s just low enough to spark competition
A smart starting price creates buzz, urgency, and leverage—which can lead to higher offers and better terms.
Why You Shouldn’t DIY This
Online estimates? Not your friend.
Your neighbor’s “guess”? Even worse.
You need a local expert (👋 hi, that’s me!) who understands Whatcom County’s micro-markets—from Blaine to Birch Bay to Ferndale—and knows how to price for today’s conditions, not last year’s headlines.
