Fewer buyers are attracted, and fewer offers received.
-
Marketing time is prolonged, and initial marketing momentum is lost.
-
The property attracts "lookers" and helps competing houses look better by comparison.
-
If a property does sell above true market value, it may not appraise,and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan.
-
The property may eventually sell below market value.
