Our low inventory has buyers starved for houses to purchase. When they see a good one, they react immediately – an attractively-priced house will have people driving by within the first hour or two on the market!
Sellers should be aware, and expect to sell their house right away.
Those who don’t shine up their house before listing, or those who get exuberant about price – thinking they have plenty of time – will miss a golden opportunity. The most desperate buyers are motivated to pay top dollar in the first few days on the market!
Here are the number of NSDCC houses sold up to $1,400,000 in the first quarter, ranked by days-on-market:

Sellers – you want to get your price, right?
The houses that sell closest to list price are those that go pending in the first two weeks. These SP:LP ratios are based on the list price on the pending date – the price which typically needs to be lowered first to get a buyer to offer, because they know it isn’t working after the first few weeks.
