If you’re thinking about selling your home in Portsmouth, NH, there’s one crucial mistake you don’t want to make—overpricing. It may seem like setting a higher price gives you negotiating power or a bigger profit, but in reality, it can cost you valuable time and money.
At RE/MAX Shoreline, Ann Cummings and Jim Lee know exactly how to price your home strategically to attract serious buyers and maximize your return. Here’s why working with experienced, local real estate professionals like Ann and Jim is the key to getting your home sold quickly and for top dollar.
Overpricing Pushes Buyers Away
With today’s mortgage rates and home prices, buyers are more budget-conscious than ever. When they see an overpriced home, they don’t think, “I’ll make a lower offer.” Instead, they move on to the next listing.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) warns that some sellers are pricing their homes too high simply because they can—but this strategy often backfires, discouraging potential buyers before they even schedule a showing.
Ann and Jim’s deep understanding of the local New Hampshire Seacoast and Southern Maine real estate market ensures your home is priced competitively from the start. They use real-time market data and expert insight to attract the right buyers—and keep them interested.
The Longer Your Home Sits, the More Doubt It Creates
Overpricing doesn’t just delay your sale; it can make buyers skeptical. The longer a home lingers on the market, the more people start to wonder what’s wrong with it. Even if the only issue is the price, perception matters.
As U.S. News points out, an overpriced home often stays on the market longer, even after price reductions. That’s because once a home has been sitting for a while, buyers assume there’s an underlying issue.
Ann and Jim are highly skilled at pricing homes correctly from day one, ensuring your listing attracts serious interest and avoids the pitfalls of prolonged market time.
Pricing Right from the Start is the Key to Success
The secret to a smooth and profitable home sale? Working with a trusted real estate professional who knows the market inside and out.

Bottom Line
If the price isn’t compelling, your home isn’t selling. Instead of guessing or aiming too high, let Ann and Jim guide you in setting the perfect price to attract buyers and get your home sold.
