Don't Let the 'New Car Smell' Wear Off Your Listing

We’ve all experienced the excitement of stepping into a brand-new car—the smell, the shine, the thrill. Real estate listings are similar. When your property hits the market, it attracts immediate attention, much like that “new car smell.” Early in the process, we typically see strong interest, high showing activity, and sometimes quick offers.

However, occasionally, sellers might hold back, waiting for better offers. This strategy can sometimes pay off, but it can also backfire. Once the freshness of a new listing wears off, interest can fade, showings slow down, and you might find yourself regretting missed opportunities.

At Torrey Smith Realty, we’ve seen this scenario many times. Our goal is to guide and empower you as our client, helping you understand when it’s the right moment to seize a great offer or when patience might pay off. We’re here to ensure you don’t lose momentum because the “new car smell” wore off your listing.

Empowering you, our client, means giving you the confidence and insights to make timely decisions. Remember, at Torrey Smith Realty, we have the power to move—and we’re ready to put that power to work for you.
