If you want to sell your house, having the right strategies and expectations is key. But some sellers haven't adjusted to where the market is today. They're not factoring in that there are more homes for sale or that buyers are being more selective with their budgets. And those sellers are making some costly mistakes.

Here's a quick rundown of the 3 most common missteps sellers are making, and how partnering with an expert agent can help you avoid every single one of them.

More Bend Home Inventory and Moderate Price Increases Were the Norm for 2024 Sales

2024 Bend home sales experienced modest price increases for the year, but Bend home buyers were fortunate to have more options. Sellers who had hesitated putting their property on the market during Covid and following when mortgage interest rates were close to 8% finally had more inclination to do so when mortgage rates dropped to the mid 6% range during the summer of 2024.
