About 11,000 Houses Will Sell Today

Some homeowners have been waiting for months to put their house on the market because they don't think people are buying homes right now. If that's you, know that even though the housing market has slowed compared to the frenzy of a couple of years ago, it isn't at a standstill. Contrary to what you may believe, buyers are still active and plenty of homes are selling right now.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), based on the pace of sales right now, just over 4 million homes will sell this year. With some simple math, lets break down what that really means for you:

• 4.16 million homes divided by 365 days in a year = 11,397 houses sell each day
• 11,397 divided by 24 hours in a day = 475 houses sell per hour
• 475 divided by 60 minutes in an hour = about 8 houses sell each minute

So, on average, about 11,000 homes sell each day in this country.

A real estate expert can give you more information about how many houses are being sold in your neighborhood, the amazing advantages that sellers are experiencing right now, and the most important things buyers are searching for in your area. Together youll use this knowledge to shape how you market your house based on local trends. 

Bottom Line

If youve been waiting to sell because you dont think there are buyers out there, know todays market is active. Every day you wait, around 11,000 other homeowners are selling. In the time it took you to read this, eight homes sold. When you're ready to sell too, connect with a local real estate agent.
