Why Home Sellers Should Start Planning a “Plan B”

You’ve listed your home with high hopes. The sign went up, the photos looked perfect, and you were ready for offers to roll in. Then weeks turned into months. Showings are sparse. Feedback is vague. That “For Sale” sign is starting to feel permanent.

If your home has been on the market longer than 30 days—especially over 90—you’re not alone, but you are at a crossroads. The longer a property lingers, the more buyers assume something’s wrong. Stale listings get skipped in searches, and price reductions start to feel inevitable.

This is the moment to start thinking about Plan B.

Not because your current agent isn’t trying—but because results are what matter. And sometimes, a fresh strategy, a sharper marketing edge, or a team with a proven faster sell time is exactly what turns a stalled listing into a sold sign.

The Hidden Cost of Waiting

Every extra day on the market costs more than just carrying fees. It erodes leverage. Buyers lowball. Neighbors notice. And worst of all? You lose momentum.

Data backs this up: Homes that sell within the first 30 days typically fetch closer to (or above) asking price. After 60 days? Price cuts become the norm. After 120? You’re now competing with brand-new listings that haven’t had time to gather digital dust.


When Should You Explore Plan B?

Consider a switch if:

  • It’s been over 60 days with minimal serious interest  
  • Feedback consistently mentions price, mis-representation, or condition
  • Your agent isn’t proactively adjusting strategy (examples: new photos, alterations, video, targeted ads, open house plan)  
  • You feel in the dark —slow responses, vague updates  
  • Something just “feels” off
