Why Vacancy Holding Costs Kill Seller Net Profits
Mortgage & Tax Drain
Every day a vacant listing sits on the MLS without offers, property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and mortgage interest drain seller equity. On a $450,000 property, holding costs average $106/day.
Preventing Price Drops
Staging empty photos immediately upon listing increases Zillow click-through rates, leading to early offers and avoiding mandatory 30-day price reductions.
