Getting ready to sell your home takes more than a sign in the yard. Today’s real estate market moves quickly, and your approach in the first few days can shape your entire outcome. Here’s a helpful breakdown inspired by this week’s market update from The Marty Rodriguez Team.

Market Snapshot: Glendora, California

The latest numbers show steady movement in Glendora, CA. With 77 active listings, 36 new properties hitting the market, and 38 recent sales, buyers are actively looking but remain selective. Homes are taking an average of 43 days to sell, which reinforces the importance of a strong launch strategy.

The real message: your pricing approach matters more than ever.

Why Pricing with Momentum Works

Many sellers fall into the trap of pricing based on personal expectations or emotional value. This often results in extended time on the market, fewer showings, and lower leverage.

Homes priced according to real-time buyer demand tend to stand out right away. Early activity drives attention, encourages competition, and often leads to stronger offers.

Your most valuable window is the first 7 to 10 days. This is when buyers watch new inventory and decide if a home is worth touring.

Seller Tip of the Week

Price for momentum, not sentiment.
A strategic price gets you more eyes, more showings, and better negotiating power. When a home launches strong, it positions you to receive higher-quality offers and reduces the risk of a stale listing.

Should You Fix Everything Before Listing?

Not all improvements add value. Focus on updates that help buyers instantly feel comfortable saying yes.

Smart updates include:

• Fresh interior paint

• Upgraded or modern lighting

• Small but noticeable repairs

• Clean and refreshed landscaping

Skip expensive remodels right before selling. They rarely pay off.

Buyer Negotiation Power Is Back

Today’s market gives buyers room to negotiate again. Sellers who understand this trend can prepare better, price smarter, and stay flexible.

If you want to strengthen your position during negotiations, now is the time to learn proven strategies that work in shifting markets.
