If Not Sold in the First 30 Days, Successful Sellers Conceded The Price

Through Mid-September, thirty seven percent (37%) of 126 home owners who sold in 2010 sold without making a single price concession. They typically attracted a buyer within 40 days of going on to the market. These successful owners conceded little on price as they sold for about 97%-98% of asking price.

Those who counted time on the market by months or even quarters eventually sold for an average of 91% of their initial asking price. Price reductions improved their success opportunity. Once their price was reduced to a price favorable to a buyer, the time on the market was short--about 34 days from last price change to accepted offer.
