How long a sale typically took recently, and what that means for your move
You're deciding if listing now supports your timeline or creates stress you cannot afford. The guiding rule is simple plan your move around the typical pace of a sale, not your ideal calendar.
One number to respect from recent data is 23 days a typical sale took 23 days last month. Supply recently stood at 3.19 months, and recent offers landed about 100% of asking. The practical impact is that timeline risk is real, but it is also manageable when you treat the calendar as part of pricing and terms. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Build your list date backward from your target move, using 23 days as the typical pace for a home to reach the finish line of a recent sale cycle. Price with discipline because recent offers landed about 100% of asking, which rewards sellers who start at a defensible number instead of chasing the market. If you need more certainty, tighten your prep window and terms so buyers can move cleanly through financing and inspections without delays.
