What to Do When Viewings Have Gone Stagnant
You launched your home, had some early interest, maybe even a few viewings… and then it all went quiet.
What to Do When Viewings Have Gone Stagnant
You launched your home, had some early interest, maybe even a few viewings… and then it all went quiet.
It’s not unusual, but it’s also not something to ignore.
If you’re starting to wonder whether the right buyer has already passed you by, or whether your home has lost momentum in the market, don’t panic. You’re not stuck, and you haven’t missed your chance.
Here’s what I do when viewings stall, and how we can get things moving again with a calm, clear plan.
1. Check the Data, Not Just the Feelings
When you’re not getting viewings, it can feel personal. But often, there’s a simple explanation, and we can find it by looking at the numbers.
How does your listing compare with others nearby? Are similar homes still getting interest? How many clicks, saves or shares is your property getting online? Are people stopping at the photos or clicking through to the floorplan?
This kind of insight gives us a clear picture of whether your home is underperforming, or whether there’s simply been a quiet patch in the market.
✅ We review the data together, not just guess
✅ If interest is dipping, we find out why
✅ A calm analysis leads to smart decisions
2. Refresh the Presentation
Buyers are drawn to fresh listings, but that doesn’t mean you have to start from scratch.
Sometimes, a small refresh like updated photography, re-ordered images or even a new main photo can bring your listing back to life. I often recommend a bespoke video tour too, especially if you’ve got features that don’t come across in still images or floorplans.
Not all agents offer video tours. They take time and expertise, which many larger firms simply don’t have. But they can completely change how buyers see your home.
✅ A fresh look can catch the eye of new buyers
✅ Video shows the flow, warmth and hidden gems
✅ A new description crafted with you helps reconnect emotionally
3. Rethink the Story, Not Just the Price
It’s tempting to assume the price is the problem. Sometimes it is, but often the issue is that the home hasn’t been understood by the market yet.
That’s why I work closely with sellers to build a listing that’s not just about specs and space. I want to know what you loved when you bought it, what it feels like in golden hour, or where you always sit with a morning coffee.
Those little stories matter. Buyers often say they felt drawn in because the description felt heartfelt, not generic.
We also offer you the opportunity to include the story behind the move, if you’re happy to share. Why you chose the home, what you’ve loved most, and what the next chapter looks like. That emotional context can make all the difference.
✅ A listing built with your insight, not just about your home
✅ We offer the option to include the story behind your move, if it feels right to you
✅ The result feels more human and often gets more traction
4. Reset the Energy
Every home has its moment. If the moment hasn’t come yet, that doesn’t mean it’s passed.
We can reintroduce your home to the market in a way that feels fresh. With a new cover image, updated copy or a stronger focus on the right features, buyers who missed it the first time may take a second look.
We often use an agent-led video tour as part of this reset. It allows us to walk buyers through the flow of your home, pointing out details they might not spot in photos or floorplans alone. It adds energy, personality and clarity to your listing, and often helps buyers connect before they’ve even booked a viewing.
And with targeted Facebook campaigns, we can bring your home to a whole new audience before it even appears again on the portals.
✅ A relaunch doesn’t need a reduction, just a rethink
✅ Agent-led video tours bring your home to life again
✅ Facebook campaigns reach buyers you might have missed
✅ A confident reset helps shift the momentum back in your favour
If you’re feeling a bit stuck, let’s talk it through. A quiet patch doesn’t mean the end, it just means something needs adjusting.
