Searching for a house can feel like a full-time job these days—an adrenaline-fueled, palpitation-inducing job at that. In this blink-and-you-miss-it real estate market, homes in most places are coming on and off the market at a dizzying pace, as buyers (helped by record-low interest rates) are snatching up property at an unprecedented rate.
It might seem like no matter where you look, homes are selling quicker than before the COVID-19 pandemic turned the market on its head. But, as it turns out, not all markets are turbocharged quite to the same degree.
That’s why Realtor.com® wanted to find out where buyers have to make split-second decisions—and where they have a bit more time to think about what could be the largest purchase they’ll ever make. We crunched the data to locate the metropolitan areas where homes are flying off the market at the fastest pace, as well as the ones where homes are taking the longest to sell.
