How long will it take to sell your home? If that’s the first question you’re asking, you’re starting in the wrong place.

Most sellers focus on days on market. How fast did it go under contract? How quickly can I close? But the real timeline to sell a home doesn’t start the day the listing goes live. It starts weeks before that, with planning and positioning.


“Homes that rush to market usually sit longer and sell for less.”

The real timeline includes prep, pricing strategy, market exposure, and negotiations. Days on market is just one piece of it. The sellers who take the time to prepare their home, price it correctly from the start, and position it for the right buyers are the ones who sell faster and for more money. The ones who rush to market without that foundation? They usually sit longer and sell for less.

If you want a realistic timeline and a strategy that protects your bottom line, I’ll break it all down for you. Reach out at 952-222-9000 or email me at john@johnschustergroup.com. You can also visit johnschustergroup.com for more information.
