The number of days it takes to sell in Rockford really depends on how the home is priced and condition of the property. It is important your home stands out in the competition. Your agent should assist you in pricing your home so it is the best price among the other homes for sale and is staged properly to show off the assets of your home to buyers. Sellers need to price their homes according to the market trend, otherwise they will always be chasing the market.

There are buyers out there and they have many choices. So your home needs to stand out from the competition. Some homes in this market are selling quickly if properly priced and staged.

If you are thinking about selling you should talk with an agent about your home and how it compares to other similar homes in your area on the market. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions.

It really depends on the location of your home, the condition of your home and the price you put on your home. If you overprice your home in todays market it will sit because there are many homes for buyers to choose from, and why would they want an overpriced home?

I recently sold a home in Machesney Park in under 30 days, and have listings that have been on the market for almost 120 days. Which I firmly believe have to do with price on both and location on another.

Homes that are in good condition and priced right are still selling in our market. The higher price ranges are taking a longer to sell. It would be beneficial for you to talk with an agent and see how your home compares to others and they would be able to tell you how long the marketing time for your price range and location is. Feel free to call or email me with any questions!
