10 Fastest Markets for Home Sellers - Two in the North East

If you are contemplating selling your home, it is crucial to be informed about the current timeframe for finding a buyer.


Currently, the average time for homes to secure a buyer is 60 days. This duration includes the entire process from listing the property for sale to finding a buyer and marking the sale as subject to contract. At present, properties are finding buyers 18 days faster than in January of this year, though 5 days slower than the same period last year.

However, there are certain areas across England where homes are selling significantly faster.


If you are considering selling your home, it is advisable to examine the current trends and performance of the market in your local area. The speed at which properties sell can vary significantly between different postcodes. Additionally, obtaining an instant valuation can provide a quick estimate of your home's potential worth.
