And if your home is the one resale that looks the most like a model, then you have a great competitive advantage. The selection of a list price is your responsibility. A real estate agent will do a comparative market analysis in order to provide you with information useful in making the selection. The price you select should be neither too high nor too low, but rather the best estimate of the full market value. You owe it to yourself to make every effort to sell your home at full market value.
Market time varies from area to area.
Under normal market conditions, a six-month listing contract allows sufficient time to sell. Many times homes sell within a few days. Preparing your home correctly, and pricing your home correctly, greatly increase the probability of selling within a reasonably short time. As a rule of thumb, forty showings in twelve weeks should result in a sale. Often, homes sell with fewer showings and in a shorter time.
