There are 40 homes 450,000-500,000 active in Paulding now, 10 in that range closed in the last year. These figures may not include all of the new construction homes. Of the 10 that sold the average time on market is 239 days. It ranged from 17 days to 534 days. The sellers motivation, condition of home, location, etc. play a major part in how long it takes to sell.

I agree with Gina. In todays market you need a full service agent that is willing to go that extra mile. An agent that is willing to go above and beyond, plus an agressive seller gives that extra edge that is a must right now.

I live and work in the Paulding/W Cobb area and if you need anything, even just info to make you more informed to make your decision, just let me know.

I think in this market, it's hard to put a figure on how many days (average) to sell. Frankly, Paulding Co over built way too much in the past 7 years. It is very unfortunate and really hurting the sellers. Just yesterday, I was in a foreclosed, new neighborhood where a couple of homes have sold under 300k; this neighborhood was built to sell over 400k. I have several listing in PC and right now our biggest competition are the foreclosures. They are killing us! Especially builder foreclosures. With that said, the 450k and up is taking a hit from the Cobb County selection of homes. I showed two foreclosed homes (Cobb Co.)last week in the 300's; they were great homes and in a neighborhood that was selling in the 500k-700k range less than a year and half ago. Buyers typically flock to PC for more home for the $$, now we are seeing tons of great deals in W. Cobb and I think that is hurting PC.

Overall, the market is not dead- just slow. A patient seller and a hardworking realtor can still get a home sold! I would only suggest that you hire a "full-service" realtor. Now is not the time to discount on the services you will need to get your home sold. You need someone who will go above and beyond what you expect from them.

Kind regards,
