How long does it normally take to sell your house?

I’m trying to move by Next August of 2009. Is that POSSIBLE? Will i be able to sell my house and move out by August 2009 or is it too early if post it within a week?

    It will usually take a few months.

    yes 1-2 months is about right, depending on the market. Several years ago property sold in a few days or weeks, usually in under a month. Now, properties often go unsold for several months (or more)…if you don’t need to move out until next august (’09), i’d wait and put it on the market in about a year, maybe april or may of ’09…assuming we are heading out of this downturn, it should sell before you need to vacate. Keep your asking price reasonable and you’ll be okay.

    Important factors:

    Marketing

    Housing market

    Price

    Condition

    If those things are all good, it will sell.

    It depends on the location (you didn’t specify which city / metro area you’re in). If you price the place right, you may be able to sell the place quickly. Overall, home values seem to have dropped so the place may be worth a bit less than you originally had thought. Typically, you should be able to sell your place in a year and a half (it’s about 17 months to 08/09)but it may sell sooner. If you’re targeting a certain date, you’ll have to research how long homes have taken to sell at your home’s price range.
