How long did it take to sell your house?

My parents house has been on the market almost 2 months and my dad is so upset he has not sold yet. I told him it is still early. How long did it take you? Did you get close to what you were asking?

We just bought--our house was on the market 8 months, then they lowered the price $80,000 and we bought it the week the price was lowered, at asking.

Depending on the comps, I would lower the price if they are anxious to sell.

It took my in laws 6 months to sell their house but they finally did. They did have to lower the price a lot from their original asking price.

we are going on 3 months...and I feel what your dad is feeling, but i think that 6 months is an average these days.

The house we are buying was on the market for 9 months before we bought it—they lowered the price twice (total of $40,000 lowered), and we bought it the week of the 2nd lowering for $10K below that….

He is not that anxious to get out, just impatient. He is not ready to lower the price just yet. He doesn't NEED out, he WANTS out.
