What percentage of West Michigan listings do not sell?
Of 10,229 listings that reached an outcome over twelve months, 1,883 came off the market without selling, or 18.4 percent. That counts listing agreements, not houses: a home that comes off in spring and sells under a new listing in summer appears in both numbers. Source: MichRIC MLS.
Do most sellers have to reduce their price?
Of the 1,883 West Michigan listings that came off the market unsold in twelve months, 45 percent never reduced their price once. They sat a median of 49 days and came off at full asking price. The 53 percent who did reduce cut a median of $20,000, or 5.3 percent. Source: MichRIC MLS.
Why does a relisted home show fewer days on market than it has been for sale?
Days on market resets when a listing is withdrawn and re-entered. Cumulative days does not. Among West Michigan listings carrying prior market time, the current listing showed a median of 54 days while the home had actually been for sale 158. Ask your agent for the cumulative figure.
