Selling in times of crisis: the importance of a professional

Every crisis brings its share of uncertainty. Since 2023, the Luxembourg real estate market has experienced a drop in selling prices, unstable interest rates and a general cautiousness from banks. Many homeowners are wondering: “Is it the right time to sell, or should I wait?” The truth is that even during a crisis, it is possible to sell quickly and at a good price — provided you are supported by a professional who knows how to turn market challenges into opportunities.

The fear of buyers

During uncertain times, buyers become more cautious. They negotiate harder, demand more guarantees and hesitate to commit. A seller acting alone can quickly give in to pressure and accept an offer below the property’s real value. With an experienced agent, this fear can be turned into an advantage — creating trust and defending your price.

The trap of waiting

Many homeowners prefer to “wait for the market to recover.” But this strategy is risky: no one can predict when the market will regain its momentum. Meanwhile, the property sits empty, incurs costs, and may lose even more value. Selling now with a solid strategy allows you to secure your capital and move forward with your projects.

The role of marketing in a challenging market

In a crisis, competition among sellers increases. Those who settle for a basic listing disappear among thousands of others. At Nextimmo, we use modern tools — professional photography, video tours, 3D virtual visits and targeted campaigns — to ensure your property immediately captures the attention of serious buyers.

Legal and financial security

Another risk in uncertain times is dealing with unreliable buyers whose financing may not be secure. At Nextimmo, we screen every file, collaborate closely with banks, and ensure your transaction is safe from the preliminary agreement to the notarial act.

Conclusion

Selling property during a crisis is not impossible. In fact, it’s often the best time to stand out — provided you don’t go it alone. With a professional by your side, you gain security, visibility and efficiency. At Nextimmo, we turn market uncertainty into real opportunities for our clients.
