How long will it take to sell my house?
Your first big question, answered with real local data. Here is how fast homes are moving in the towns I sell in, and what actually drives the timeline.
Market figures are approximate and reflect mid-2026 local data. They move month to month. Ask me for the current numbers on your exact street.
Price is the lever, not luck
Days on market is mostly a pricing story. A well-priced home in a healthy market gets showings in the first week and offers soon after. An overpriced home sits, goes stale, and often sells for less than if it had been priced right from day one. The market tells you the truth quickly. The trick is listening to it before you list, not after.
What actually moves your timeline
- Price relative to recent comparable sales, by far the biggest factor
- Condition and how show-ready the home is on day one
- Photography and presentation that earn the click and the showing
- Local demand for your price band and neighborhood right now
- Time of year, though a well-priced home sells in any season
How I keep your home from sitting
I price your home where the data says it sells, not where hope says it should. We prep and present it to look its best from the first photo, and I watch the early showing and feedback signals closely. If the market is telling us something, I tell you straight, fast, so we can adjust before the listing goes cold.
How long to sell, answered
It varies by town and price. Across Canton, Plymouth, Northville and South Lyon, well-priced homes are generally selling in roughly three to five weeks, and some go faster in the tighter markets. Overpricing is the main reason a home sits.
