Days on Market

(How long are homes on the market?)

Homes took almost 20% longer to sell this October, with a few that took over 200 days.

No matter what market we are in, it is always so important to price your home correctly the first time. If your home is priced according to the current market value, not only is it going to sell quickly, previous research tells us that is it going to sell for significantly MORE than if you had it on the market for 3, 4 or 6 months.

If you would like to better understand the current market value of your Decatur home and/or get the latest real estate market statistics, please don't hesitate to call us at 404.432.1844.

We would be honored to assist you!
