Common Mistakes Holladay Sellers Make
- Pricing based on the city-wide median rather than the neighborhood comp set.
- Skipping pre-listing prep on higher-end homes. Premium buyer pools expect move-in ready.
- Listing without seasonal awareness. Spring (March-May) consistently outperforms fall and winter.
- Underestimating school catchment impact on resale value, even for homes without school-age occupants.
- Choosing an agent without specific Holladay neighborhood experience.
