Home Buying Tip - How Long Has The Home Been For Sale?

When looking to buy real estate, consider how long the property has been on the market, especially when compared to similar properties that are on the market (or have recently sold).

Check on the original listing date of the homes you inspect as it may give you an idea of how motivated (or desperate) the owner is to sell.

Sellers tend to be more flexible in the price the longer the home is on the market.
