1. Buyers will be viewing your competitors home

You need to realise you are not the only one trying to sell a home in Nigeria. Before a buyer sets out to buy real estate, most have a budget already and will be searching for homes priced in that particular range of what they can afford. So if they find something similar to your property and cheaper, they won’t be thinking of how to negotiate your house price down anymore and those homes competing with you will have a higher chance of being sold before yours.

2. Qualified buyers aren’t seeing your homes

If your home is priced too high qualified buyers in Nigeria won’t be seeing it. The ones who can afford the true value of your property will never see the real estate as you have scared them off with the price.

They’re anxious to get started in their search to find that perfect home. New properties hit the market every week and as the homes hit the market, your home becomes old news and they will be all over the new property instead of yours.
