Should You Hold Out for More Money? (Seller Advice 2026)

Описание: In this video, Jeff Dickey addresses a common concern from sellers: "Should I hold out for more money?" He recounts a recent situation where a property received a full-price offer within 48 hours, prompting the sellers to question if they could have gotten even more. This scenario highlights key aspects of selling a home, where understanding market dynamics and buyer readiness is crucial for a successful transaction. We provide home seller tips to help you navigate these decisions and potentially sell your home for more money.

Should you hold out for more money if your home sells fast?

In this video, Jeff Dickey shares a real situation involving a family whose home had only been on the market for 48 hours when they received a full price offer with outstanding financing. Instead of celebrating, they became concerned. Was it happening too fast? Should they wait for more money?

This is a common seller reaction — especially in today’s competitive 2026 real estate market.

Jeff explains why the strongest buyers often show up first. The most motivated, qualified, and prepared buyers are actively watching the market every single day. Many of them have already lost out on other homes. When a new listing hits the market that meets their criteria, they move quickly.

🔵 They schedule showings immediately
🔵 They already have financing in place
🔵 They are ready to write contracts
🔵 They don’t hesitate

Sellers are often told this ahead of time — that their best buyers will come early — but when it actually happens, it can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly what happened in this case. The home was listed for just two days. The offer was full price. Financing was solid. The buyers were ready to go.

The sellers wondered if they should stall. Maybe wait a few more days. Maybe someone else would come along and offer more.

Jeff explains why waiting can be risky. The buyers who are actively searching and ready to purchase don’t wait around. If they miss your property, they move on to the next one. Once those early, serious buyers pass, the next wave of buyers may not be as strong or as motivated.

Here’s the reality sellers need to understand in 2026:

🔵 Your best buyers are often your earliest buyers
🔵 Fast offers don’t mean you underpriced
🔵 Strong financing reduces risk
🔵 Waiting doesn’t guarantee more money

In this case, Jeff encouraged the sellers to accept the offer — and they did. His belief? They’ll never regret that decision.
