Feeling overwhelmed by today’s housing market? Selling a home in today’s market requires a different mindset compared to previous years. The market dynamics have shifted, and the quick sales that many homeowners became used to in 2021 and 2022 are no longer the norm. If you’re looking to sell your home this year, patience is crucial.

Considering this, is it still a good time to sell? The simple answer is yes. While market conditions have changed, it remains a good time to sell due to a persistent housing shortage. Demand for houses will remain strong as long as this shortage continues, leading to a balanced market where buyers and sellers have equal power.

Home selling in today’s market typically takes up to six months. However, markets can still vary significantly, especially in Maricopa County, where different cities and neighborhoods have different average days on the market. Many homeowners have gotten used to the fast-paced home selling process of 2021 and 2022, but more than ever, it is essential to be patient and realistic about the current market conditions. Focus on preparing your home for sale and presenting it in the best possible light instead of rushing the process. Patience is a virtue, and it pays off in the long run when selling your home.
