I have been on the market for 3 weeks now and have had a lot of showings but not offers. I fixed it up. We dropped the price last week but still nothing. I don't know what else to do.

The three most common reasons a home stops generating serious interest in any Florida market are price, condition, and marketing. In that order.
In Homosassa and across Citrus County, price is almost always the primary lever. If a home has been listed for more than 30 days without an offer in the current market, the data is telling you something: buyers who have seen the home have compared it to competing listings and passed. That is a pricing signal, not a marketing problem.
Condition issues, including deferred maintenance, outdated finishes, or photos that do not present the home well, can be addressed without a price reduction. But if the price is already aggressive and the home is still sitting, a systematic review of days on market, showing feedback, and recent sold comparables will tell you exactly where to focus. A reset conversation with your agent, anchored in numbers rather than opinions, is the right starting point.

If you have gone two weeks without a serious offer in the 2026 market, your price is likely 5% to 10% above the current "appraisal reality." Buyers today are hyper-sensitive to "deferred maintenance" like old carpet or dated fixtures, often overestimating the cost of these repairs and deducting them twofold from their offer price.
Hi Bill. Ohio, like my neighboring state of Pennsylvania has a seasonal real estate market. Things tend to slow a bit in the winter time. The seasonal market slow paired with the increased mortgage rates are making home sales a little different than they were six months to a year ago. I would ask your listing agent what the feedback is from the showings. If you are having a good amount of showings but no offers, buyers may be finding other homes that they prefer over yours for the price. For whatever reason. You may need to price even more competitively or be patient until the market picks up. Best of luck.
There are usually a few key reasons:
– Price – If it’s priced too high, buyers may skip it entirely.
– Condition – Outdated features, clutter, or needed repairs can turn buyers off.
– Marketing – Poor photos, weak listing descriptions, or limited exposure can hurt visibility.
– Market conditions – Slower seasons or rising interest rates can impact buyer demand.
It’s worth reviewing your listing with a fresh set of eyes to see what adjustments might help—small changes can make a big difference.
Bill:
Various real estate markets are different, and it could be that your market is traditionally slower this time of year. Let your agent know your concerns and ask them to run a Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) to make sure you are priced properly based upon recent sales and the condition of your home compared to those recently sold. I would also as you agent to reach out to the agents that have shown your home for some feedback on why their buyers were not interested. There may be some changes you could make that would be effective.
