Selling a home generally takes a few weeks to prepare, a few weeks or months on the market, and about 30 to 45 days to close. Your timeline depends on price, condition, and market conditions.
Declutter, repair, and schedule photos. This often takes one to four weeks, depending on the work needed.
Homes priced well often get the most interest early. Time on market varies widely by price range and area, so ask your agent for current local numbers.
Inspection, appraisal, title work, and loan approval take place. Typical closings take roughly 30 to 45 days after contract, though cash deals can be faster.
Sign documents, hand over keys, and move on the agreed date. Plan for storage or a rent-back if timing is tight.
Price accurately, prepare thoroughly, respond to showings quickly, and work with buyers who have strong financing.
