How long it takes for a home to sell in Des Moines can vary from month to month based on many factors, including interest rates, the amount of inventory in the market and sometimes even weather.
The start of 2007 brought anxious Des Moines home sellers some of the longest marketing times in over two years. The longest selling times of the year came in March, reaching a high of 13.7 weeks. But as the year progressed, the average time it took to receive an offer got down to as low as 11 weeks.
It is always important to note that many homes sell in less time if the home is properly priced, well marketed and in a market ready condition. And some take much, much longer.
In 2007, the homes we personally listed (Brian and Beth that is), sold much faster than the market averages!
Our 2007 Listings sold in an average of 51 days, or 7.2 Weeks.
This was 34 days less than the 86 day average for the Greater Des Moines Real Estate Market!
