52%
Right now, more than half of all U.S. home listings — 52%, according to Redfin — have been sitting on the market for 60 days or longer without a single offer. That means a quick sale isn't the norm anymore. It's the exception.
I'm sharing this because the most common pattern I see is sellers stepping into the process expecting to be that exception. They assume their home will move fast, and when it doesn't, the worry sets in. They start wondering what's wrong, what they missed, or what buyers aren't seeing.
But in most cases, nothing is wrong at all.
A slower sale is simply part of the current market rhythm, even for homes that are beautifully prepared and priced correctly. The sellers who handle this season the best aren't the ones who slash their price hoping to spark a bidding war. They're the ones who went in with a realistic understanding of how long it actually takes to find the right buyer right now.
They planned around the timeline instead of fighting against it. They gave the process room to work.
If you're thinking about your own timeline this year, it's worth getting a clear picture of what to expect before you make any decisions. A grounded plan always feels better than guessing.
As always, I'm here if you need me. If you want a realistic read on how your home would perform in this market, send me an email ot text. I'm happy to walk you through it.
