Recent contract timing shows why preparation matters before the first showing.
If you are close to listing, the real question is whether your home is ready to compete from day one. In Concord, VA, that matters because some homes are going under contract very quickly, while others are spending far longer on the market.
The recent pending group in Concord, VA showed a typical time to contract of 20 days. Some homes moved to pending in just 2 to 3 days, while others took 72, 96, 134, and 158 days. I take that as a clear warning against half-finished launches. When buyers have limited options in a market with 2.4 months of supply, they still sort hard between homes that feel ready and homes that feel like work. In Concord, VA, the first impression can influence whether you are in the fast group or the slow group. Complete repairs before photos and showings. Price the home to compete immediately with current options. Do not go live until the presentation matches the price.
