Every time I list a house I am asked this question.  It is a good question! 

The answer depends on many things...but I will give you an answer based on averages for the local area.  The reason I said 'it depends' is because if the home is underpriced...it will sell in a day.  If it is overpriced, it may never sell (at least not until the market catches up to the price).  It also depends on the age of your home, the price range, the condition, the neighborhood, and the current market dynamics.

The following data is compiled from our local MLS for North Port, Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda.

Here are the numbers: (look at the price range, then at the Avg DOM...which stands for Average Days on Market):

Days on Market for different price levels

So the short answer to the question is: 107 days on the market and then plan for 4-6 weeks to close after you get a contract.  The long answer...it depends on the price.  

If you are thinking about selling your home.  Lets sit down and look at the numbers specific to your house.  I can drill down to get an average based on the exact qualities of your home.
