The First 14 Days on Market: Why They Matter More Than You Think

by Lindsay Jackman

The first two weeks your home is on the market are everything.

In today’s Gig Harbor real estate market, this is when your listing gets the most attention, both online and in person. Buyers are watching closely for new listings, and agents are actively sharing fresh inventory with their clients.

This is why pricing and presentation matter so much upfront. A well-priced home with strong marketing will generate showings, interest, and potentially offers early on. If a home sits too long without activity, buyers may begin to wonder why. My marketing strategies are proven to be successful.

In areas like Pierce County and Kitsap County, where buyer behavior shifts seasonally, that early momentum can make all the difference.

The goal? Create excitement from day one and let the market work in your favor.
