Key takeaways
- Repeated price cuts are one of the strongest signals.
- Combine signals; one alone is usually weak.
- Always show the reason next to the score.
1. Repeated price cuts
Two or more reductions in a short window often mean a seller is under pressure to move.
2. Long days on market
Homes sitting well beyond the local median days on market are more open to offers.
3. Expired or withdrawn listings
An owner who tried to sell and stopped may still want to, just not on the old terms.
4–6. Tenure, absentee ownership and deferred updates
Long-held homes, out-of-area owners and properties with no recent permits each add weight. Together with price behavior, they make a far better score than any single list.
