How to: Take forever to sell your house

May 19, 2009 by: Kathleen Seide

This isn’t rocket science, but I love it when real world data lines up with our common assumptions.

Higher Asking Price = Longer Time to Market

Days on Market Trend up

As original asking price goes up the # of day a home is on the market also goes up.

I was doing an analysis for a listing and sorted the data by original asking price.  The higher the asking price the longer the homes were on the market… it isn’t a 100% correlation but it’s definitely a trend.

Another trend is that the longer a house is on the market the more discounted they tend to get from original asking price.

The Right Price

Accurate pricing is so important in this market.  Get the knowledge you need and use it to make good decisions.
