In Metro Detroit, average days-on-market hover between 20 - 40 days for well-priced homes, but that number changes fast depending on location and condition. A renovated ranch in Birmingham might sell in under a week; a dated colonial with deferred maintenance might take a month or two.
The timeline you control comes from how you prepare and price. Sharp pricing backed by professional photos, video tours, and strong agent communication can cut your market time in half.
Remember: the first two weeks are golden. That’s when buyer urgency is highest and algorithms push your listing hardest. If you don’t shine in that window, you risk becoming “stale.”
