How long will it take me to sell my Arlington VA home?

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass

If you are thinking of putting your Arlington VA home on the market this fall, you might wonder how long you can expect it to take to sell.   On average, for August, it took 58 days for Arlington, VA homes to sell.  That means 58 days before a contract was ratified, and you can add another 30-45 days on that to close.  And add in preparation time, because this is the most important aspect of selling.   So start to finish, it could take as much as 4 months to sell your home.  

 

6543 27th St NorthMy most recent North Arlington listing sold in just about 30 days from start to finish.  I guided these relocating sellers to get it staged, cleaned, prepped, repaired, and photographed.  Then held it open to over 30 groups on Sunday and about 50 brokers on Tuesday,  worked through 2 strong offers and a relo company - and settled in just about a month.

Sounds like the Arlington, VA market is hot for sellers right now.  The prices may not be where they once were, but a quick turnaround to a family that wants or needs to relocate can be just as valuable.

58 days on the market is still very good, especially in comparison to other parts of the country.  Arlington will always have an edge because of location.
