A slower response does not always mean weak demand, but it does require a plan.
If your home is not getting the response you expected in Westlake Village, CA, the first move is not panic. The first move is to examine position, because even in a seller-leaning market, buyers still choose carefully.
A typical sale in Westlake Village, CA took 34 days last month, and recent offers landed near 99% of asking. Supply stood at 2.6 months. Those numbers tell me the market still supports serious sellers, but they also tell me that homes are not selling by default just because inventory is limited.
I would look first at pricing against current competition. The typical asking price for active homes was $1,937,499, while the typical closed price was $1,605,000. In Westlake Village, CA, buyers are still making comparisons and protecting value. If your home sits, the market may be telling you that the price, presentation, or both are out of line with what buyers can justify.
Revisit the homes buyers are choosing instead of yours. Tighten photos, staging, and condition issues that reduce confidence. If feedback repeats the same objection, respond quickly with a price or presentation change instead of waiting for the problem to fix itself.
