When a house sits, sellers want to know what to change and in what order. Here's how we look at it, from Mitch & Meghan, part of the Scrimgeour Group with eXp Realty.

Why isn't my house selling in Victoria, MN?

Most of the time, a house that isn't selling is priced above what buyers think it's worth next to the other homes they're seeing. Condition, photos and showing access come next. Over the 12 months through September 2026, Victoria homes took an average of 49 days to sell, so a home sitting well past that is telling you something.

How long should my house be on the market before I worry?

If you've had steady showings but no offers after two to three weeks, it's time to look hard at the price. In September 2026, Victoria homes that sold took an average of 35 days. In our experience, most buyer interest comes in the first two weeks, while your home is new on the search apps.

What does it mean if I'm getting showings but no offers?

Showings with no offers usually mean buyers like the photos but feel the house doesn't match the price once they walk in. Ask your agent for the showing feedback word for word. If several buyers mention the same thing, like dated carpet in a Deer Run rambler or a busy road behind the yard, that's your answer.

What if I'm not getting any showings at all?

No showings almost always means the price is off for what buyers see online. Buyers in Victoria compare your home with every similar listing on their phone, and if yours looks expensive next to a home in Laketown or Watermark, they skip it. Check the photos too, since dark or cluttered first photos get scrolled past.

When should I lower the price on my house?

Lower the price when the market has given you a clear answer, usually after two to four weeks of weak showings or no offers. Over the 12 months through September 2026, Victoria sellers received 98.9% of their original list price on average. The longer a house sits, the more buyers wonder what's wrong with it.

How much should I lower my price?

Make one cut big enough to put your home in front of a new group of buyers, instead of several small ones. Buyers search in price ranges like $600,000 to $650,000, so a cut that moves you into a new range gets new eyes on the house. Small cuts every few weeks tell buyers you'll keep dropping.

Can a price cut fix a problem with my lot or location?

A price cut is often the only fix for a lot or location issue, since you can't move the house. In our experience, where a home sits within a neighborhood, like lake frontage, a private wooded lot or a busy road, can swing the price $300,000 to $500,000, sometimes more. Price it against homes with a similar lot.

Should I take my house off the market and relist in spring?

Relisting in spring can work, but only if you change something real, like the price or the condition, since buyers' agents can see the listing history. Fewer homes are competing with yours right now. Victoria had 54 homes for sale in September 2026, down 29.9% from a year earlier, according to Minneapolis Area REALTORS.
