$\"Houses$ \n

Have you been thinking about selling your house<\/a>? If so, here\u2019s some good news. While the housing market isn\u2019t as frenzied as it was during the \u2018unicorn\u2019 years<\/a> when houses were selling quicker than ever, they\u2019re still selling faster than normal.<\/p>\n

The graph below uses data<\/a> from Realtor.com<\/em> to tell the story of median days on the market for every January from 2017 all the way through the latest numbers available. For Realtor.com<\/em>, days on the market means from the time a house is listed for sale until its closing date or the date it\u2019s taken off the market. This metric can help give you an idea of just how quickly homes are selling compared to more normal years:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n

When you look at the most recent data (shown in green<\/em>), it\u2019s clear homes are selling faster than they usually would (shown in blue<\/em>). In fact, the only years when houses sold even faster than they are right now were the abnormal \u2018unicorn\u2019 years (shown in pink<\/em>). According<\/a> to Realtor.com<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHomes spent 69 days on the market, <\/em>which is three days shorter than last year and more than two weeks shorter than before the COVID-19 pandemic<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What Does This Mean for You?<\/strong><\/h4>\nHomes are selling faster<\/a> than the norm for this time of year \u2013 and your house may sell quickly too. That\u2019s because more people are looking to buy now that mortgage rates<\/a> have come down, but there still aren\u2019t enough homes<\/a> to go around. Mike Simonsen, Founder of Altos Research<\/em>, says<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\u201c. . . 2024 is starting stronger than last year. And demand is increasing each week.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bottom Line<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re wondering if it\u2019s a good time to <\/span>sell your home<\/a>, the most recent data suggests it is. The housing market appears to be stronger than it usually is at this time of year.
