Why Isn't My Keller Home Getting Showings?
Why isn't my Keller home getting showings?
If your home has been on the market in Keller but showings have slowed or stopped, it usually comes down to one of four things: pricing, presentation, promotion, or market position. Understanding which applies to your situation can help you reset strategy and get traction again — especially in today's shifting Keller market.
Selling a home in Keller ISD communities — whether in 76248 or 76244 — is about aligning with buyer behavior. Some homes still go under contract quickly, while others sit with minimal activity.
Here's a breakdown of what's happening locally and what to do if your home isn't getting showings.
Understand the Keller Market Right Now
The first step is to know what kind of market you're competing in.
76248 (Central Keller)
Includes neighborhoods like Hidden Lakes, Ridgeview Estates, Highland Oaks, and Saddlebrook Estates.
As of fall 2025, homes here average around the mid-to-upper $600s with roughly 30–40 days on market. Inventory remains tight, and buyers are selective — paying a premium for updated, move-in-ready properties.
76244 (North Keller ISD / Fort Worth border)
Covers Heritage, Villages of Woodland Springs, and surrounding master-planned communities.
This market sits closer to the mid-$400s with slightly higher inventory and a more price-sensitive buyer pool. Homes typically see about 1–2 showings per week when priced competitively.
If you're not seeing showing traffic within the first two weeks, your home is likely misaligned with what buyers in your price segment expect.
1. Pricing: The #1 Showing Killer
Even in strong markets, buyers won't schedule showings if a home feels overpriced compared to nearby options.
Ask yourself:
- Are there comparable homes nearby with better updates or features listed for less?
- Have there been recent price drops among similar homes in your subdivision?
- Is your home sitting above the "search break" threshold (e.g., $650K instead of $649,900)?
Keller buyers shop by comparison, and they're savvy. In today's digital-first environment, they'll scroll right past listings that don't align with perceived value.
"When a home gets below average showing activity in the first month, the market is telling you something. The key is to listen early, not after months of frustration."
— Kallie Spencer (Ritchey), Broker/Owner at Ritchey Realty
Fix it:
- Adjust pricing in small, strategic increments (often 1–2%) to trigger new buyer alerts.
- Review nearby pending sales with your agent — those reflect current market value, not past data.
- Evaluate price per square foot against sold properties, not just actives.
2. Presentation: Online and In-Person
If the price is right but showings are still minimal, presentation might be holding you back.
Buyers form first impressions in seconds — both online and during showings.
Common presentation issues:
- Dark or poorly lit listing photos
- Staging that feels cluttered or dated
- Odors or deferred maintenance noticed during tours
- Overly personalized décor that distracts buyers
"The first showing for a buyer is not when they walk through your door — it's when they see it online. At that point, they'll decide whether to step through the door. Your online presentation is critical and must knock the ball out of the park on the first hit!"
— Kallie Spencer (Ritchey)
Fix it:
- Refresh listing photos with natural light and professional composition.
- Declutter, neutralize, and stage strategically to emphasize space.
- Improve curb appeal with simple, inexpensive exterior updates.
- Keep lighting, scent, and temperature buyer-friendly during tours.
Buyers in both Hidden Lakes and Heritage, for example, respond to bright, updated, well-maintained homes with standout photos — presentation matters across every Keller neighborhood.
3. Marketing Exposure: Is Anyone Actually Seeing It?
No matter how good your home looks, it won't get showings if the right buyers never see it.
A modern marketing plan should include more than just MLS exposure.
Ask your agent:
- Is my home featured on high-traffic portals like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com?
- Are we running targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google, YouTube, and Meta to reach active and relocating buyers?
- Are SEO keywords embedded in my listing description and even in the photo file names?
- Is my home's copy optimized for modern search tools like ChatGPT and other AI-driven platforms?
Why it matters:
Online visibility now extends beyond traditional search. With buyers using AI platforms to research homes, it's essential to work with an agent who understands SEO strategy, keyword placement, and AI trends that increase listing views.
"The right exposure means showing up everywhere buyers are looking — including on the newest platforms. Visibility drives opportunity."
— Kallie Spencer (Ritchey)
4. Market Position: Competition and Timing
Even well-presented, fairly priced homes can get overlooked if timing or competition is off.
For example:
- A surge of new listings in Heritage or Woodland Springs can temporarily divert attention.
- Homes listed near holidays or during rate fluctuations often see slower traffic.
- New construction incentives in nearby master-planned areas can pull focus from resale homes.
Fix it:
- Evaluate timing — a 2–3 week reset with refreshed marketing can re-energize visibility.
- Highlight your home's unique value points (lot size, layout, upgrades, or location advantages).
- Rework your listing strategy — sometimes simply repositioning your home online can reignite traffic.
The "Two-Week Test"
In today's Keller market, the first two weeks tell you everything you need to know.
If you've had:
- Fewer than 5–7 showings total, or
- No second showings, or
- Only online saves but no tours
…then something is off — and it's fixable.
An experienced agent can quickly diagnose whether the issue lies with price, photos, or promotion — and help you pivot early.

What To Do If Your Home Isn't Getting Showings
If your Keller home is sitting without showings:
- Reevaluate pricing against recent pending comps in your neighborhood.
- Refresh listing photos and on-line presentation.
- Revisit your marketing exposure — ensure your home is appearing on all major platforms.
- Analyze competing listings to understand buyer alternatives.
If your home is already listed with another agent, discuss these adjustments directly with them — small, strategic changes can often spark new activity within just a week or two.
