What we have here is a failure to communicate. Get your mind right about your price.
TL;DR
Kenwood sellers can’t ignore staging, pricing, and photos. Get your mind right or risk longer days and lower net.
In Cool Hand Luke, the famous line cuts through: “What we have here is a failure to communicate.” That’s Kenwood sellers in 2025. Inventory is higher, buyers have choices, and the market is sending a message many homeowners aren’t hearing: get your mind right.
The expensive path is familiar: overprice the house, skip the prep, toss it online with dark photos. Sellers convince themselves, “It’ll sell anyway.” But buyers in Kenwood today are picky. They expect clean, staged spaces, competitive pricing, and bright, inviting photos. Ignore those basics and you’ll pay for it in longer days on market, price cuts, and painful concessions at closing.
Here’s the smarter play:
Price with the buyer’s eyes, not your hopes.
Declutter and stage like it matters (because it does).
Invest in pro photography: It’s the first showing every buyer sees.
The difference? Thousands of dollars. Uber Realty’s 1% listing model protects your equity while making sure buyers actually hear your story. On a $450,000 Kenwood home, avoiding a 5–6% traditional fee can keep $15,000–$20,000 in your pocket. That’s money you lose if you don’t get your mind right.
Kenwood is still a great neighborhood. But the market won’t bend to seller optimism. The ones who adjust win; the ones who don’t bleed equity.
