As you prepare to sell your home, you’re probably wondering, “How long will this take?” It’s a great question—you want to have a clear idea of what to expect.
Every market is unique, and while national trends can offer some insight, a local real estate agent can provide the most accurate information. They know your area best and can explain how local conditions compare to broader trends.
Here are a few factors that a great agent will cover with you during that conversation:
More Homes on the Market Are Impacting Sale Times
According to Realtor.com, the number of homes for sale has increased this year. This is fantastic news for buyers who have more choices, but it means that sellers might experience longer times on the market. Currently, it takes around 55 days from listing to closing, according to Realtor.com.
While homes aren’t selling as quickly as they did last year, they’re still moving faster than in pre-pandemic years. In 2017-2019, it was normal for homes to take 60 days or more to sell. Today, despite the increased inventory, buyer demand remains strong. So, homes that are well-presented and properly priced continue to sell swiftly. As NerdWallet puts it:
“Overall, though, demand still outpaces supply. This is hardly a mellow market: Good homes sell quickly...”
