How long does it really take to sell your San Diego home?
My conversation yesterday with a homeowner demonstrates how people underestimate it.
Seller - "I want to sell but am not quite ready to List or put my home on the market."
Me - "OK, when do you want to have your money and be done with the sale?"
Seller - "May or June"
Me - "Cool, you are already a month behind."
Seller - "Wait, George, you're telling me that if I listed today (put my home on the market), I wouldn't get my money until the Fourth of July?"
Me - "Yes, but here's what you can do if that's too long."
On average, it takes almost 4 months from beginning to end.
Typical timeline (117 days total):
- 14 days prep
- 73 days on the market
- 30 days in escrow
But, I offer options with a 10-day closing, and my average is under 30 days.

The bottom line is that selling your San Diego home can take longer than expected—on average, about four months if you go the traditional route.
