Sellers, What to Expect With Days on Market

As a seller, you've probably heard the term "days on market," the number of days a property stays listed before going under contract. Here's what it actually tells you.

Hi, I'm Tanja Odzak, Realtor with eXp Realty, helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay for the last 10 years.

A quick sale with short days on market usually signals real demand, possibly multiple offers, a bidding war, and a strong shot at selling at or above asking. A longer stretch on the market often points to buyer hesitation, which could trace back to condition, marketing, or price.

If your days on market start running longer than the average for your area, it's worth sitting down with your agent to reassess strategy. A price adjustment is one lever, but it's not the only one, buyer feedback and a fuller read on the market matter just as much before making changes.

I'm Tanja Odzak, and I've sold over $100 million worth of homes with a decade of experience in the East Bay. The right marketing and pricing strategy from the start is what keeps days on market working in your favor. Let's go over the latest data for your area.
