How Long does it Take to Sell?
Clients have been asking me about this lately, so I wanted to touch on this subject. The good news for all my clients in Porter Ranch is that we're still in quite a seller's market. Although we're entering the spring buying & selling season, you will still be in good shape to sell.

The answer to this question is not so clear-cut because the sale of your home depends on a lot of different things. Usually it comes down to the pricing and conditioning of the house, but by and large we are seeing anywhere from 20-40 days on market here in San Fernando Valley.

A lot of people may also wonder why they are not seeing offers on their homes. Luckily, the National Association of Realtors has a good statistic for us that says if you have gotten 10 showings but 0 offers, then your home is likely to be overpriced. The NAR also says that if you go 2 weeks without a showing, you would also be overpriced. 

Being on the market for 3-5 weeks is the norm right now, but if you're priced right and your home is in good condition, then you can expect that number to decrease further. Price and condition are the 2 main factors right now, so make sure your home is priced accurately and attractively, and that your home is in great condition. Also be sure to keep track of how long you have been on the market as well as how many showing you have been going through.
