The Average Home Takes 63 Days to Sell—Here’s How I’d Sell Yours Faster

It’s true: according to recent market stats, the average home sits on the market for 63 days before it finally sells.

And while that might not sound like a long time in the grand scheme of things, here’s what those 63 days often look like for sellers:

✅ Constant tidying up for last-minute showings
✅ Endless weekends in the car while buyers tour your space
✅ Radio silence from the market… and growing anxiety with each passing day

But here’s the thing: your home doesn’t have to sit around collecting dust.
When we work together, I don’t just throw your listing up online and hope for the best. I bring proven, practical strategies to the table that attract serious buyers—and get your home sold faster.

Here’s how:

1. Strategic Pricing That Sparks Action

This might surprise you, but one of the biggest mistakes sellers make is starting high just to “see what happens.”

The truth?
That’s often exactly why homes don’t sell quickly.

Today’s buyers are smart—they’re looking at comps, watching price drops, and they can smell an overpriced listing from a mile away. And when your home sits for too long without movement, it starts to lose its shine. People start to wonder what’s “wrong” with it, even if it’s perfect.

So instead of guessing, I price with intention.

→ I study the current data and your local neighborhood trends
→ I evaluate how homes similar to yours are performing
→ I price it to create urgency—so the right buyer doesn’t hesitate

Because the goal isn’t just to list—it’s to create action.

2. Pre-Launch Buzz That Builds Momentum

Want to know a little behind-the-scenes secret?

Some of the most successful sales I’ve had didn’t start when we hit “publish” on the listing…
They started before the home even went live.

I treat your home like it’s launching on opening weekend. I create a plan that generates early interest—so buyers are already watching, waiting, and talking about it when it goes public.

Here’s what that includes:

→ A sneak peek campaign across social media
→ Direct outreach to agents with active buyers
→ Private pre-showings to build demand
→ And messaging that teases just enough to create curiosity

That way, your listing doesn’t enter the market cold. It enters hot.

3. Marketing the Lifestyle—Not Just the Layout

A lot of agents make the mistake of selling the specs: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, updated appliances.

And sure, that matters. But do you know what really gets buyers emotionally connected?

→ The feeling of Sunday morning coffee in the sunroom
→ Kids playing tag in the backyard while dinner’s on the grill
→ Being able to walk to their favorite coffee shop or farmers market

People don’t just buy homes—they buy stories. They buy futures. They buy lifestyles.

So I don’t just market your house—I bring it to life.

Through professional photos, thoughtfully written descriptions, and videos that tell the story behind your home, I help buyers see themselves living there. And when they do that, they act faster—and more decisively.

So… What Would This Look Like for Your Home?

Selling your home faster than the market average isn’t about luck—it’s about having a plan that’s tailored to today’s buyers. From smart pricing to strategic marketing and thoughtful storytelling, each step we take is designed to give your home the attention it deserves from the moment it hits the market.

If you’re considering selling—or if your home is already listed and not getting the traction you hoped for—I’d be happy to walk you through what a faster, more effective approach could look like. Let’s connect for a no-pressure conversation about your goals and the strategies that can help you get there, without the wait.

    Most first-time buyers compare homes by price, size, and photos.
That’s normal.
But it’s rarely the full picture.

What actually changes how a home feels doesn’t always show up online.
Noise during the day vs at night.
Internet that struggles when you work from home.
HOA rules you didn’t expect.
Utility bills that surprise you later.
Or development plans that change the area after you move in.

From my experience, these details are usually the difference between loving a home… and questioning it a few months in.

My role isn’t just unlocking doors.
It’s helping you see what listings don’t show so you can choose with confidence, not guesswork.

If you’re buying in Goodyear and want clarity before you commit, this is the stuff that matters.
