What it means for you
Buyers: Homes are taking nearly twice as long to sell as they did in June, so you have time to compare, inspect and negotiate. Check flood zone and insurance quotes before you offer so the payment you plan for is the one you get.
Sellers: Buyers are taking their time. Accurate pricing, good photos and a home that is ready to show are what shorten that 140-day average. Ask us for a free market analysis before you list.
