Welcome back to Day 2 of our real estate question series! Today’s focus is on the timing of selling your home, so let’s dive into Question 2:

Question 2: How long will it take to sell my home?

On average, the process of selling a house typically spans between 55 and 70 days, encompassing 25 days on the market and 30 to 45 days for closing. However, in Oklahoma City, the average days on the market were only 15 in 2023, resulting in a quicker overall process of 40 to 60 days. Keep in mind that these timelines can vary depending on several factors:

  1. Listing Time: Homes often sell faster during peak seasons like spring and early fall.
  2. Local Market Conditions: A seller’s market with high demand and low inventory can accelerate the selling process.
  3. Home Condition: Well-maintained homes tend to attract buyers more quickly than those needing extensive repairs.
  4. Buyer Financing: Mortgage-based transactions typically take longer to close compared to cash deals.

Proactively addressing repairs and setting a competitive price, with the guidance of an experienced real estate consultant, can

expedite the selling process. While some may consider selling without professional assistance, it’s crucial to note the potential drawbacks, including limited market reach, pricing challenges, and complex paperwork.
