The „maximum price fallacy“: Why the most expensive estate agent often costs you the most money

If you want to sell your house in Nuremberg, you are usually faced with a difficult decision. The choice often falls on the estate agent who promises the highest selling price. But this is exactly where the trap snaps shut. As a property expert in the metropolitan region, I am increasingly observing a dangerous phenomenon: the „Advertisement price bluff“.

Playing with hope

Many estate agents in Nuremberg vie for mandates by quoting sellers lunar prices. The goal is clear: to get a signature under the estate agent's mandate. But a high listing price is no guarantee of a high selling price. On the contrary.

„Setting the price too high is the surest way to burn a property on the market.“ - Christoffer Davis

Why „too expensive“ ultimately means „too cheap“

When we buy a property in neighbourhoods such as Mögeldorf, Erlenstegen or St. Johannis significantly above market value, the following happens:

  1. The target group stays away: Qualified buyers who keep a close eye on the market will sort out your property immediately.
  2. The service life increases: The property becomes a „slow seller“. In the portals, prospective buyers can see exactly how long a house has been online.
  3. The price collapse begins: After months of stagnation, the first price reductions follow. Now professional buyers smell „blood“ and bid far below the actual market value.

The result: You end up selling below the price you would have realised immediately with a realistic, strategic market launch.


The Davis approach: strategy instead of speculation

My goal with Davis & Partner is not to promise you the blue sky in order to get an order. My aim is to actual maximum price realise for you.

This is what distinguishes my work from traditional marketing:

  • Evidence-based evaluation: I don't use pi times thumb estimates. We analyse real transaction data from the Nuremberg purchase price collection, combined with current interest rate dynamics and local location factors.
  • Selective acceptance of mandates: I don't take every house into my portfolio. I only work with sellers who prefer a professionally sound strategy to „soldier of fortune“ tactics.
  • Negotiating at eye level: A high sales price is not created in the exposé, but at the negotiating table. Thanks to my in-depth knowledge of the market, I refute price pressure arguments with facts, not empty phrases.

My promise to Nuremberg property owners

I will never give you the highest price just to please you. I will give you the price that appeals to the market and motivates the buyer to go to his pain threshold.

I do not sell your property at the highest advertised price, but at the objectively highest possible market price. This is a subtle but crucial difference for your assets.

What owners should definitely bear in mind with inheritances

„We'll sort it out later, for now everything stays as it is.“ I hear this phrase very often when it comes to inherited properties. At the same time, many owners from Nuremberg tell me that it is precisely this „later“ that eventually leads to pressure, disputes, time pressure or expensive...

Maxfeld is one of Nuremberg's sought-after residential areas close to the city centre. Old buildings, short distances and a good infrastructure ensure continuous interest. Nevertheless, sales results differ significantly depending on how the market is targeted....
