If you’ve caught yourself thinking, “Why hasn’t my house sold yet?”… you’re definitely not alone.
We’ve been seeing more and more sellers feeling like their home is just sitting, when in reality, it’s performing exactly how the market is moving right now. We like to call it days on market dysmorphia.
What’s actually normal right now?
In the Amarillo market, the average days on market over the past year has ranged anywhere from about 73 to 110 days.
That might sound long if you’re thinking back a few years, but in today’s market, that’s pretty normal.
The market hasn’t slowed down as much as it has shifted.
Why it feels slower than it really is
A lot of this comes down to expectations.
During the peak market a few years ago, homes were flying off the market in days with multiple offers. That pace set a new “normal” in people’s minds.
But today looks different:
- Buyers are taking their time
- Interest rates have changed what people can afford
- Pricing matters more than ever
So when a home sits for 60 to 90 days, it can feel like something is wrong when it’s actually right in line with the market.
What we’re seeing locally
With the Haynes Team at Triangle Realty, we’re still seeing homes sell every day.
The difference is simple:
- Homes that are priced right and show well are moving
- Homes that miss the mark on price tend to sit longer
That’s where the frustration comes in. It’s easy to assume it’s the market, when sometimes it just comes down to strategy.
The bottom line
If your home has been on the market for a couple of months, that doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong.
It just means we need to look at the full picture:
- Price
- Condition
- Marketing
- Buyer demand in your price range
The market isn’t broken. It’s just more balanced.
