About 11,000 Houses Will Be Sold Today - Is YOURS Going To Be One Of Them?

Are you afraid to sell your house because you think no one will want to buy it with the current rates and prices? Here's a perspective that might change your mind.


In reality, the market isn't stuck. Even though there weren't as many sales as there would have been in a normal market, about 4.15 million homes were still sold last year (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS, 2024). This does not even include the new constructed home sales and it is thought that number will go up in 2025 (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS, 2024). That means this year there will probably be more moves, and more people will need to buy houses. That's right, even places like yours!

Here's what it looks like if we only sell as many as we did last year.

Every Minute, Homes Are Being Sold

• More than 4.15 million homes divided by 365 days puts us at around 11,370+ homes sold every day
• 24 hours in a day means that about 474 houses are sold per hour on average
• This also translates to around 8 houses being sold every minute

Take a look at that. Did you look at it? In the time it took you to reach this point in this article, 8 houses were sold.

If you have been putting off selling your house because you believe there are no buyers out there, this should comfort you. There are still people who want to buy.

A lot of people need to buy homes every day. Higher mortgage rates and home prices have slowed down the market and kept some buyers from buying, but that doesn't mean the market isn't still moving forward. There are always a lot of buyers who want to move because life doesn't just wait for the market to become great.

You can get your house in front of those most opportune buyers if you work with the right real estate agent. Other homeowners are still putting their plans on hold because they're afraid that buyer demand has gone away. Let's ignore them and get your house sold!

In Conclusion

Every day, more than 11,000 homes are sold, and yours could be one of them. 8 more homes sold while you were finishing up this article by Steven "RedBeard" Vertz, REALTOR, Owner-Operating Real Estate Broker of Wizards of Real Estate.

Let's talk when you're ready to take the next step so you can have the right real estate agent help you make the best plan.
