33.9% of homes took a price cut—should we panic?

Introduction

ResiClub just dropped a breakdown every agent should see: 33.9% of active listings in March had a price cut—the highest share in years.

At first glance, it might feel like a warning sign. But zoom out, and the picture changes. Even during the 2021 buying frenzy, nearly 1 in 5 listings adjusted their price.

This isn’t about panic—it’s about how you coach clients through the shift:
— Show them why price cuts don’t always signal weakness
— Reframe expectations around timing, negotiation, and demand
— Be the calm in the chaos

This campaign gives you the data—and the script—to do exactly that.

Before you get started

For best results with direct mail, you’ll want to have these core lists ready.

Before you send a text, make sure you have these three things in place:

Before you send an email, make sure these three things are in place:

This is your core mailing audience—used for general awareness and market education. Build your list using the following filters:

  • Homeowners who’ve owned for 10+ years
  • 50%+ equity
  • Areas with strong total commission opportunity (transaction volume × average price)

Start with 1,000 homes. Expand if it’s working. Need help pulling the list? Ask your title rep or use tools like PropStream or Breakthrough Broker.

Used for campaigns like Just Listed, Just Sold, Magic Buyer, or Pre-Appointment letters.You’ll need the ability to quickly pull 100–200 nearby homes around a specific property.

Used for targeted campaigns like Expired Listings, Silver Tsunami, and FSBOs.
Pull these from platforms like RedX or similar.

An Email Tool

You need a platform that lets you send mass emails to your database. Use what you have—FUB, Follow Up Boss, Mailchimp, KVCore, Constant Contact, etc. If you’re not set up yet, get that handled first. You can’t send if you can’t hit send.

2

Three Simple Lists

You need three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven't done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

These lists let you send smarter without overthinking.
3

A Plain Text Format

These emails are written to feel personal, not promotional—so keep them clean. Paste them as-is, with a short signature (your name, number, maybe your site). That’s it.

A CRM That Can Send Texts

Most modern CRMs can do this—Follow Up Boss, Lofty, Brivity, Real Geeks, etc. Use your CRM before buying anything new. You’ll want tracking, history, and batch-sending capabilities.

If you do need a mass texting tool, here’s what we recommend. But start with manual sends if you have to.

Three Simple Lists

Texting is for follow-up. And smart follow-up starts with the right filters.

Set up three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven’t done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

Apply two filters:

Engaged Recently

Opened an email or visited your site in the last 7 days.

Not Contacted Recently

No outreach in 30 days (for prospects) or 90 days (for clients).

That overlap—engaged but untouched—is your sweet spot. That’s who you text.

A Plain Text Format

These aren’t spam blasts. They’re timely, value-based follow-ups. Use their first name. Skip the signatures.

You’ve probably noticed it too—more listings with price reductions this spring.

In March 2025, 33.9% of homes for sale on Realtor.com saw a price cut—the highest share in years.

So…should we panic?

Nope. We just need more context.

Yes, today’s buyers are cautious and calculated.

But even at the height of the 2021 housing boom, nearly 1 in 5 listings still saw a price cut. (Source: ResiClub)

A price cut doesn’t always mean a home sold for less—sometimes it’s strategic, meant to test demand or leave room to negotiate.

That said, not every cut is planned. Some are course corrections when the market doesn’t respond as expected.

And with inventory climbing, construction pulling back, and buyers weighing every move—that response is getting harder to predict.

It’s a market that’s easy to misread—and one that takes experience to navigate well.

P.S. Even if you’re in the very early stages of planning a move, I can walk you through what to expect—from timing to pricing to prep—so you’re not scrambling later. Just reply to this email.
