Why Your Home Isn't Selling in 2026 (And How to Fix It!)

Are you feeling frustrated because you listed your home in the Portland Metro, Wilsonville, or Salem-Keizer area, and it's just sitting there? Showing are happening, but offers aren't coming in—or maybe the showings have stopped entirely. In this video, Joe Skipper of Skipper Realty Group breaks down the uncomfortable, honest truth about why homes are sitting unsold in the 2026 real estate market. The market has shifted toward a balanced environment with mortgage rates hovering between 6.5% and 7%. Buyers have higher expectations and are not compromising on their must-have lists. The good news? The reasons your home isn’t selling are usually fixable. I'm breaking down exactly what sellers who are successfully closing deals are doing differently, giving you a clear, actionable plan to get your listing from "Active" to "Pending." We discuss the four main levers you can pull: ✅ Price Strategy: Pricing for current comps, not hope. ✅ Seller Concessions: The power of 2-1 buydowns, closing cost credits, and repair credits. ✅ Condition & Presentation: Meeting the picky buyer’s expectations. ✅ Active Marketing: Beyond just MLS and Zillow. If you are ready to stop watching the days tick by on your listing and start seeing offers, this video is for you.
