You are considering selling your home and
want to know how long it takes to sell a home in Maine.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a concrete answer to that question?
The truth is, how long it takes a home to sell depends on
a lot of different things and is difficult to track.
Pricing, staging and marketing have a great deal to do with
how quickly a home sells. Buyers are looking for the nicest house at the best price.
If you are priced at the lower end of homes comparable to your home
the chances of your home selling quickly improve. You may even get
multiple offers and sell for more that you would have listed at a higher price.
If your home is uncluttered and staged, buyers will be more likely to
feel that the home is well taken care of
and worth more money.
The key to getting an offer on your home is having it seen.
All the staging and price reductions in the world won't do any good if
your house is not seen by buyers. This is why making sure your agent
has a good marketing program is key. For example, in Maine 97% of buyers
use the Internet to search for a home.
a good Internet marketing program?
The best way of tracking how long it takes homes to sell may be
the days on market on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). Of course this
only takes into account the time the property was listed by an agent
who uses the MLS. The property could have been listed by an agent who
does not use MLS, could have been listed differently in MLS, or
could have been for sale by owner. Just like most things related to real estate,
the time it takes to sell can vary greatly from location to location.
