Hamilton Real Estate

Average days on market is often used to measure how quickly homes were selling the previous month or months… but it doesn’t always tell the full story.

It reflects what happened last month, not what is happening in real time. But in real estate we always use data from the past to determine how well the market is moving in the present.

For sellers, it can give a sense of how quickly homes were moving—but it doesn’t determine how long your home will take to sell or how buyers will respond to it today.

For buyers, it can help you understand the pace of the market—but it doesn’t tell you how quickly a specific home will sell or whether you’ll be competing.

The real insight comes from how a property is performing right now
How many showings it’s getting
How buyers are responding
And how it’s positioned against the current competition

That’s where strategy matters most.

If you’ve been watching the market and want clarity on what this means for you, I’m always happy to walk you through it.
