- 06/11/13 12:25 AM
www.ShopforVirginiaHomes.com Hamed Gargasht - Gargasht Team (703) 901-6364 Keller Williams Realty Near the end of 2012, the National Association of Realtors® announced that the average home took 69 days to sell, a welcome shrinkage from the 98-day Time On Market (TOM) common during the housing market crisis.

We can look at trends and directions, but if there is a change afoot, we won’t be sure of that for about 60 days. Last week, The Wall … (1 comments)
