Relisting Mistakes to Avoid: Don’t Repeat What Didn’t Work the First Time

If your Frisco home expired without selling, relisting gives you a second chance — but only if you avoid repeating the same mistakes. Many sellers rush back onto the market without changing anything, only to end up with another failed attempt. By knowing the common relisting pitfalls, you can position your home for a successful sale the second time around.

Mistake #1: Relisting at the Same Price

If your home didn’t sell at the original price, relisting at the same number will likely lead to the same outcome. A fresh, data-driven Comparative Market

Analysis (CMA) is essential before relaunching.

Mistake #2: Using the Same Marketing Approach

An expired listing needs a new strategy, not the same photos and description recycled. Without updated staging, professional photography, video tours, and digital campaigns, your home won’t regain buyer interest.

Mistake #3: Ignoring Buyer Feedback

If buyers commented on issues like outdated finishes, clutter, or curb appeal, those concerns should be addressed before relisting. Ignoring them means losing the same buyers again.

Mistake #4: Sticking with the Wrong Agent

Not all REALTORS® have the tools, certifications, or marketing reach needed to sell in a competitive Frisco market. Relisting with an agent who couldn’t sell your home the first time is repeating the same error.

Mistake #5: Failing to Rebrand the Home

Expired listings carry a stigma. Simply relisting without a refreshed description, photos, or presentation makes buyers assume something is wrong with the property.

Key Statistics to Keep in Mind

Homes priced correctly from the start are 50% more likely to sell within 30 days.
Listings with professional photography receive 118% more views online.
Staged homes sell 73% faster on average compared to non-staged homes.
