I’m Grant Dolby, founder of Dolby Haas Real Estate Solutions. I reviewed the MLS records for 12851 Billingsley Trl, Parker (80134) and wanted to reach out with a clear, strategic take on value and timing, plus what I’d do differently to get you a stronger result in the Spring.
What you have (and why it matters)
You own a newer single-family home in Parker, the kind of property buyers generally want: modern era, clean floorplan, and a segment that performs best when it launches with momentum. In other words, this is not a “hard sell” house by nature. It becomes a hard sell when the market thinks it has leverage.
What the MLS history says
Here’s the important part, because buyers absolutely use it:
That tells the story buyers see: launched mid-summer, carried into the second half of the year, then chased price. Not “something is wrong,” just a clear signal to buyers that they can wait you out and negotiate harder.
The real problem with Days on Market and stale listings
Stale listings struggle because buyers are shrewd. They interpret long days on market like this:
That’s leverage, plain and simple.
Where value appears to be clustering
CoreLogic’s RealAVM is currently showing:
Translation: starting at $760K was optimistic, and the market eventually pushed you to the $725K zone, but by then the seasonal window was gone and the listing had lost momentum.
The opportunity: a true Spring relaunch
You said it perfectly: it looks like the Spring window was missed and the listing fell into the second-half doldrums. That’s fixable.
A fresh Spring launch at an “exciting” number like $725K, paired with clean positioning, should perform very differently because:
Who I am and why I’m reaching out
I’ve been in real estate for decades and our team has sold hundreds of homes that other brokers failed to sell, including record prices throughout Douglas County. We’re known for solving the “this should have sold” problem, especially when the first attempt left a trail online.
Our Pre-Marketing Plan (the difference-maker)
We don’t just “relist.” We reset the story and engineer demand before we ever hit the MLS.
1) Pre-MLS syndication and buyer-response testing
Before the MLS launch, we syndicate intentionally to:
The point is not “more eyeballs.” The point is data: saves, clicks, inquiries, showing requests, and agent feedback. That tells us whether the number and message are pulling the right buyers before we burn the MLS clock.
2) Price and messaging test-marketing
We refine:
So when we launch in Spring, we already know what the market is responding to and we don’t waste the first 10–14 days guessing.
3) Broker-to-broker promotion
This is where real offers come from.
4) Social media promotion that attracts the right buyer
Not random boosting. Strategic targeting, clean creative, and the right hook so buyers feel urgency, not optionality.
5) Ideal Spring timing
We pick a launch window where:
If you’re open to it
I’m happy to give you a straight answer on two things:
If a quick call is easier, I can do 10–15 minutes and tell you exactly how I’d map the relaunch.
