How quickly will my home sell is a question realtors get all the time. I know I asked the same question before I became arealtor myself. The market climate is what actually will determine how quickly your home will After years of experiencehere in Northern Utah, I get that question all the time. I’m Brittany, the owner of Planning Roots Realty with Unity RealEstate Group. In a hot market, where there is limited inventory, meaning there are more buyers than homes, you canactually expect your home to sell in just a few days. Although I highly recommend allowing the home to get propermarketing time so you can get the most amount. of offers with the very best terms. Right now, it is a little different witheverything going on in the market.
Because of the current state of our economy, you may want to look at offers as they come in. But again, market climateand what’s happening in the economy always determine if you should allow more marketing time. If there are more homeson the market than buyers, you can expect a longer time for your home to actually sell. This is what we’re dealing withright now. We can discuss the timing and how quickly we think your home will sell when we meet you. It’s reallyimportant to look at absorption rate in terms of pricing. Absorption Rate is a term most commonly used in real estatemarket to evaluate the rate at which homes are sold in a specific market in a given period.
It’s calculated by taking the average number of sales per month divided by the total number of homes available.According to Investopedia, a seller’s market would have an absorption rate that equals a little more than 20, and a buyer’smarket is actually lower than 15. I personally believe that those numbers are a bit too vast. Right now, in today’s market, ifwe see a home taking longer than 45 days to sell, that’s usually overpriced.
