Are you hesitant to sell your house because you worry no one will buy at current rates and prices? Here’s some perspective that can help.
The market isn’t at a standstill. While there weren’t as many sales last year as in a regular market, roughly 4.15 million homes still sold (not including new construction), according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The expectation is that the number will rise in 2025. That means more people will likely move this year, and they need homes to buy. Homes like yours.
But even if we only match last year’s sales pace, here’s what that looks like.
Every Minute Homes Are Selling – Literally
- 4.15 million homes ÷ 365 days in a year = 11,370 homes sell each day
- 11,370 homes ÷ 24 hours in a day = 474 homes sell per hour
- 474 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sell every minute
Think about that. Just in the time it took you to read this, 8 homes sold.
If you’ve been holding off on selling your house because you think buyers aren’t out there, let this reassure you – there are still buyers looking to buy.
Thousands of people need to buy homes every day. While higher home prices and mortgage rates have slowed the market and forced some buyers to the sidelines, that doesn’t mean the market isn’t active. Many buyers are still eager to move because life doesn’t require perfect market conditions.
With the right agent by your side, you can get your house in front of those buyers while other hesitant homeowners still pause their plans because they’re worried buyer demand has disappeared. Let’s get your home sold.
Bottom Line
On average, over 11,000 homes sell daily; yours could be one of them. In the time it took you to read this, another 8 homes sold.
When you’re ready to take the next step, let’s connect so you have an agent to create that perfect strategy.
