Price adjustments should never be emotional — they should be strategic.
If showing activity is low or offers are not materializing, review:
Comparable sales
Competing active listings
Market inventory shifts
Buyer feedback from showings

However, reducing too quickly without sufficient exposure can also be premature.
The goal is not repeated small reductions. It’s making a meaningful adjustment that repositions the property competitively.
Strategic timing protects both perception and leverage.
Monitoring activity closely in the early stages helps determine the appropriate course of action.
