2022 Real Estate Market Cooldown

How do you sell your home in today’s unpredictable real estate market? It’s still possible to maximize your price and sell your home for top dollar, but we’re just in a completely different market. Watch as John Murdock runs through the six key points you need to pay attention to!


  • How do you price your home?
  • How do you advertise your home to all potential buyers?
  • How can you sell it without it being on the market for months?
  • What improvements should we do to the property before selling?

You want to sell your home... but you also understand that the real estate market isn’t the same as it was during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Interest rates are changing and you aren’t certain how it impacts you as a seller. 


Selling your home 'Post-Covid' is different. It’s uncertain.

In this new 'Post-Covid' market, only 50% of homes sell the first time they are on the market. Yikes.

Better yet, most real estate agents sell 5 homes on average per year and ONLY 26% of consumers actually use their same agent again!

I've been through the home-selling process several times before, so I understand the number of different players and its complexity. John and Caitlyn at Cityscape Metro--and their subcontractors Manny, Gino, and Mark--were all GREAT! They provided fast, accurate information, honest re-hab estimates, and reliable advice. Given all the craziness in the market, the supply chain, etc., I was really surprised at how smoothly it went this time.

John and Caitlyn are awesome!! Super friendly and very attentive!! I sold my first home after the first open house!! The sale of my second home was somewhat slower due to COVID and the changing market, but John knew that I was under a deadline to get it sold, and he made it happen!! Caitlyn is very helpful in getting the behind-the-scene matters taken care of (document signing, questions, etc). I cannot say enough good things about the Cityscape team!!

John was very professional with his prompt and attentive service. He was very patient, proactive, and not forceful at all. He was more of a listener to my needs and situation which I really valued which is why I decide to pursue support from John in renting my home. John was ready and organized to get my home on the market in just a few days of time. In the future, if ever needing any support, I will surely reach out to John.

Manassas, VA

Can NOT say enough good things about John and his team! From beginning to end, the professionalism, knowledge, savvy, and down right ‘we WILL get this done!’ mentality we’re exceptional! They went above and beyond to get my home sold during a flat COVID market and I am tremendously grateful.

John and the rest of the team at Cityscape Metro Group and I closed a 23 day contract in Reston. Special shoutout to Cityscape for negotiating all the closing costs to be paid by the seller as well as repairs to be completed after the inspection. Along with the most competitive rate out there, the client got an amazing home. I look forward to recommending CityScape Metro Group to future buyers and sellers for an amazing deal.

Reston, VA

John and his entire team at CityScape did an amazing job selling our house and buying a new one at the same time. In fact we closed both sides of the transaction on the same day. As a bonus John got us 1 week of free rent back! Not only did the deals happen without issue but we got 3% more than asking for the sell of our house. I also recommend using their preferred title and finance company, they all know each other and work in harmony together.

Clifton, VA

Great professional group to sell a house with. The whole process was painless. I whole heartedly recommend this group. Their multi-tiered sales system saved me a lot of money.

Germantown, MD

City Scape Metro came through for us "big time!" John Murdock is a "bulldog," and we needed his tenacity to save our deal. They earned every penny of the commission. Kudo's to him and his whole team; from managing contractors to dealing with my HOA. When you're looking to sell your home, give John a call!

Stafford, VA

John sold our house in days...and found a condo for us also. We have referred him many times. He and his team sold houses for many friends of ours, and our daughters house too!
