Why Overvaluing a Property Can Spell Disaster

REQUEST A VALUATION

Posted on Friday, September 5, 2025

If you’re considering listing your property, here are some home truths about property overvaluations.

What is an overvaluation?

It’s when the price of a property is significantly inflated beyond market norms.

Why is it a problem?

Time-wasting

The asking price is so far off the mark that buyers stay away, and your home gets stuck on the market.

Budget blues

You make financial decisions based on an inflated price that you’re unlikely ever to achieve.

Competitors get the edge

Buyers focus their attention on properties that represent better value.

Top tip

If an agent gives you a valuation that far exceeds the realities of the market, listen to your instincts. Are they just telling you what you want to hear to secure your business?
