Some Home Sellers Will Need To Be A Bit More Patient Now

For several years (most particularly 2020-2022) homes of every size, price and in every location would just FLY off the shelves.  Ready to sell?  No problem.  There would be an abundance of buyers ready to pounce on your home within days if not hours of your house being listed for sale.

That is still the case for some price ranges, locations and for some property types -- but it is not the case for all homes.

Thus, some home sellers will still (excitedly) see their homes go under contract within a few days or a week of being listed for sale -- but some will not.

If your home is still on the market for sale, and is not yet under contract, a few weeks after being on the market -- don't despair.

There are no longer 10 would be buyers for every house at any given point that a house is listed for sale.  You might need to wait for a few weeks or - (gasp) a month or more - for a buyer to come along that would like to buy your home.

It was certainly a delightful time to be a home sellers when homes went under contract so quickly and so certainly -- but just because your house does not go under contract that quickly now does not mean that it won't sell at all.
