Thinking about selling your home in Adelaide but worried about getting the best price? 

It’s a question we hear all the time—and it makes sense. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial moves you’ll ever make. But too often, homeowners unknowingly make mistakes that cost them tens of thousands of dollars. 

Here are the top three mistakes to avoid when selling in Adelaide: 

1. Mistake One: Overpricing Your Home 

It’s tempting to “test the market” with a high asking price. But here’s the truth: an overpriced home sits longer, becomes stale, and eventually sells for less than it could have if priced right from the start. 

Example: We recently sold a property in Modbury. The owners trusted our pricing strategy, and within 10 days, we had multiple offers above asking. Had we started higher, those buyers may have never even come through the door. 

2. Mistake Two: Poor Presentation 

First impressions matter—both online and in person. Cluttered spaces, untidy gardens, or dark rooms can instantly turn buyers off. 

Investing in styling, a tidy-up, and professional photography makes a huge difference in attracting serious buyers. 

3. Mistake Three: Selling Without a Strategy 

Selling a home isn’t just about putting up a listing. It’s about knowing when to launch, how to market, and how to negotiate. Without a strategy, you risk missing out on the right buyers and the best offers.
