Selling your house
in the next 3 months
in pennsylvania
If you’re thinking about selling within the next 90 days, timing matters more than most homeowners realize.
At this stage, the biggest mistakes I see aren’t about marketing — they’re about pricing too late, fixing the wrong things, or waiting for “one more month.”
This page explains what actually matters before you list.
No pressure. No obligation. Just clear next steps based on where you are.
What I typically recommend focusing on first
If I were helping a homeowner preparing to sell in the next 3 months, this is where I’d focus:
1. Pricing reality (before emotions get involved)
Not a Zestimate. Not a neighbor’s sale.
A realistic range based on what buyers are actually rewarding right now.
2. Prep decisions that matter — and what to skip
Over-improving is one of the most common mistakes at this stage.
Some updates help. Many don’t.
3. Timing the launch correctly
The first 7–10 days on the market matter more than anything that happens later.
4. Inspection and appraisal risk
Knowing where deals typically fall apart before you list gives you leverage later.
Why the next 3 months is a critical window
If you’re inside the 3-month window, you’re already ahead of most sellers.
This is the phase where:
Pricing strategy has the biggest impact
Buyers react fastest (and harshest)
Early decisions either protect your leverage — or quietly cost you money
Most homes that struggle didn’t fail because of marketing.
They failed because of choices made 30–60 days before listing.
Mistakes I see sellers make in the 3-month window
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone:
Waiting too long to talk through pricing
Doing repairs buyers don’t actually value
Assuming demand will “pick up later”
Overpricing to “test the market”
Not planning for inspection negotiations
None of these mean you shouldn’t sell.
They just mean you need a clear plan early.
A smart 90-day selling plan usually includes:
A pricing strategy based on current buyer behavior
A short, realistic prep checklist
A launch window that creates urgency (not hesitation)
A plan for inspection and appraisal negotiations
A backup strategy if the market shifts mid-process
