How Long Will It Take To Sell My House?

You Want a Fast Sale—Here's What You Need to Know

Alright, let's get real: you want your house sold, and you want it sold fast. But how long is this whole process going to take? To get a solid answer, your best move is to work with a local real estate agent who knows their stuff.

Here’s the deal: I know exactly how fast homes are flying off the market in your area and what’s impacting those timelines. I'll set you up with realistic expectations and help you craft a plan that's tailored to today’s market.

Here's a quick dive into one of the key factors I’ll walk you through—how the supply of homes for sale affects your timeline.

The Growing Supply of Homes for Sale

Lately, there’s been an uptick in the number of homes for sale. This is good news for you because it means more options when you’re house hunting. But it also means buyers have more choices, so if your house doesn’t stand out, it might take a bit longer to sell.

Available inventory consists of new listings (homes just put on the market) and active listings (homes that have been on the market but haven’t sold yet). Data from Realtor.com shows that much of the recent growth is from these active listings that are lingering.

How It’s Impacting Listings Today

Think of the housing market like a bakery. Fresh loaves of bread (new listings) are always the hottest items. But if a loaf sits too long, it gets stale, and fewer people want it.

The same goes for homes. New listings are the most sought-after. But if a home isn’t priced right, doesn’t show well, or lacks an effective sales strategy, it can sit on the market and become less appealing to buyers over time.

I'll Help Your House Stand Out and Sell Quickly

Timing is everything. You want this process to move fast. As your agent, I’ll ensure your listing stays fresh and doesn’t sit around long enough to go stale. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR):

“Home sellers without an agent are nearly twice as likely to say they didn’t accept an offer for at least three months; 53% of sellers who used an agent say they accepted an offer within a month of listing their home.”

I’ll factor the recent inventory growth into my plan and create a customized selling strategy for your house. Since the supply of homes varies by area, I’ll provide insights into your local market, help you price your home correctly, and design a marketing plan that gets your home noticed.
