Portland's 04102 ZIP code is still a seller's market, but things have shifted.

Days on market have climbed from 23 to 30. The median sale price has dipped to $505,000. And pending sales are down nearly 15%.

That means every decision, from pricing to prep to marketing, carries more weight than it did last year.

The West End, Stroudwater, Western Promenade, Libbytown, Nason's Corner: each of these neighborhoods attracts a completely different buyer. You can't treat them the same and expect great results.

Price right on day one. Prep for today's more cautious buyer. And market to the specific person your neighborhood attracts.

If you're selling in Portland 04102, here's something most sellers miss: this ZIP code is not one market.

A Victorian in the West End needs a completely different strategy than a Colonial in Stroudwater or a family home in Nason's Corner.

With homes averaging 30 days on market now, up from 23 last year, buyers have time to compare. That means your prep, staging, and pricing need to match your specific neighborhood, not just the ZIP code.

The sellers winning right now are the ones who understand their neighborhood before they set their price.
