Showing Expectations and Days on Market Everyone knows someone who sold their home in just a couple of days. Did you ever think that maybe it was priced as a “fire sale?” Maybe even unintentionally? As mentioned previously, anyone or any agent can sell a home. The key to getting the best price and terms you want out of your sale is to understand the market trends for your area, the price point, and type of property you’re selling. Your agent should be going over the average number of showings prior to an accepted offer along with average days to expect.

Track average days on the market.

You want to give your home the right amount of time to find the right offer. That may be in the first few days on the market or it may be on day ten or after. You and your agent want to analyze the market together before making that decision.

Track average number of showings to expect.
