Price doesn't match the market
Buyers always compare. If the price is 5–10% above market, the listing is completely ignored. Transaction data analysis reveals the real corridor.
Photos don't generate interest
The first 3 photos decide whether a buyer opens the listing. Phone photos in a dark apartment don't sell. Professional photography is an investment.
Copy lacks value
Buyers look for specifics: area, condition, utility costs, transport links. "Cozy apartment" says nothing.
Wrong timing
Demand is seasonal. Autumn and spring are more active. Late summer and December are low periods.
Wrong portal or category
KV.ee, City24, Facebook — each channel has its own buyer profile. Wrong choice = fewer contacts.
Listing has been up too long
Portals reduce visibility over time. 30+ days without changes = silent listing.
No pre-sale preparation (staging)
Cleaning, lighting, smells — first impression matters. Buyers decide in 7 seconds whether to look further.
