Why do some listings sit while others get a buyer in a week?

Listings that sell fast are almost always priced accurately against real comparable sales and presented well through photography, staging and a working marketing plan from the first day. Listings that sit tend to have opened too high, needed repairs that were not addressed, or lacked the marketing reach to get in front of the right buyers early. Joel Boss treats the first weeks on the market as the critical window and adjusts quickly if a listing is not performing.
