Is It Supposed to Be This Quiet? What Happens When Your Home Isn’t Getting Showings

You listed your home. You lit the candles. Fluffed the pillows.

Maybe you even told your neighbors to keep an eye out for extra cars in the driveway because things are about to get busy.

And then… nothing.

No showings. No dings on your phone. No agent asking, “Can we come see it at 3pm?”
Just you, refreshing your inbox and waiting for the market to say something—anything—back.

If you’ve ever been in this space, I want you to know: You’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

Sometimes, even when we believe we’ve nailed the price… the market tells us a different story.

Not often. But it happens.

Especially in shifting markets—when buyer behavior is slower, interest rates are in flux, or inventory suddenly spikes—it’s not uncommon to feel like you’re throwing a party and no one showed up.

And let me be clear: I feel it too.

This is the moment I’m re-checking comps, diving back into feedback, and prepping your Tuesday update with a little extra heart and a whole lot of honesty.

Because while I wish I could control buyer traffic, what I can control is how we respond.

Sometimes that means adjusting our price.

Sometimes it means reintroducing the home to the market with a fresh lens.

Sometimes it means tweaking the photos, the staging, or how we’re telling your home’s story online.

What it never means? Sitting still and just hoping.

Real estate is emotional. Especially when your home isn’t getting the attention it deserves. It’s easy to spiral: Is it the kitchen? Did we price it too high? Is it me??

I see you. And I’m not going quiet just because the market is.

This part—the lull—is where so many sellers start to doubt.

But it’s also the part where we double down on strategy, realign with the current market reality, and keep moving forward.

So if your home is sitting, and you’re watching your phone like it’s supposed to ring any second—take a breath. I’ve got you. The next showing is coming.

And when it does, we’ll be ready.
