If you’re thinking about selling your home in Cornwall or South Stormont, here’s the truth: inventory is the highest it’s been in years.

That’s great for buyers — but for sellers, it means more competition and a more brutal fight for attention. The homes that are moving quickly right now are priced strategically, look great, and require little to no work for the buyer.

What High Inventory Means for Sellers in Cornwall & South Stormont

With so many homes on the market, buyers can compare options and choose the one that gives them the most value. If your home is overpriced or appears to need extensive work, they’ll move on to the next one.

We’re seeing a clear pattern:

Overpriced homes are sitting for weeks or months.
Well-priced, well-presented homes are selling faster — and often getting more than one offer.

Why Listing Too High Can Backfire

It’s tempting to list at the top of your dream price range “just to see.” But in reality:

It increases your days on market.
You risk having to do a price reduction later.
Buyers start to wonder if something’s wrong with the property.

A better approach is to list at market value — or even slightly below. This creates urgency, draws in more buyers, and can lead to stronger offers right out of the gate.

Make Your Home Impossible to Overlook ✨

Pricing will get buyers in the door — but presentation will seal the deal. Here’s how to give your home a competitive edge:

Complete any minor repairs you’ve been putting off.
Refresh with paint, updated lighting, or simple décor changes.
Declutter and clean thoroughly so every space feels open and bright.

Buyers in Cornwall and South Stormont want move-in-ready homes. The less work they have to imagine doing, the more appealing your property becomes.

Bonus Tip: Treat Every Offer Like an Opportunity

In today’s market, every offer is worth serious consideration. Negotiate the best you can, but understand that in a competitive market, another offer may not come along right away.

Bottom line: Selling in a high-inventory market means you need to stand out. Price strategically, present your home at its best, and be ready to act when the right offer comes in.
