How Long Should You Expect Your Kingman Home to Sit on the Market?
If you’re preparing to sell your home in Kingman, one of the first questions you might ask is: How long will it take to sell?
The short answer? On average, homes in Kingman are sitting on the market for about 44 days. That’s a fairly healthy pace—especially when you compare it to many nearby areas where properties are lingering closer to 60+ days. But keep in mind, average doesn’t mean guaranteed. The time it takes to sell your home will depend on a number of factors—some you can control, and some you can’t.
The good news? Most of what really matters is in your control. Here’s how to make sure your home sells quickly and for the best possible price:
1. Price It Right from the Start
This is the biggest factor in how long your home will sit. Overpricing will almost always lead to longer days on the market and lower offers down the line. Recent sales in your neighborhood are important, but so is your current competition. Active listings give us a real-time look at how the market is behaving. I always run both when advising sellers on pricing strategy.
2. Handle Maintenance Items Early
Leaky faucets, peeling paint, loose door handles, buyers notice everything. And even small issues can create the impression that the home hasn’t been well cared for. Fixing the little things now can save you time and money later.
3. Invest in a Deep Clean
Skipping the $400–$600 for a professional deep clean might sound smart, until it costs you $5,000 in low offers or time lost on the market. Buyers want to walk into a home that smells and feels fresh. A sparkling home shows better, photographs better, and sells faster.
4. Declutter Like You’re Already Moving (Because You Are)
Now’s the time to start boxing up everything you don’t need. Closets, countertops, and cabinets should feel spacious, not packed. Buyers want to envision their life in the home, not yours.
5. Maximize Curb Appeal
Your front yard is the first impression. Landscaping doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should be clean, trimmed, and welcoming. Keep in mind: buyers know how expensive lanscaping is, and they’ll take it into account if your exterior needs help.
6. Use a Pro (Seriously)
Hiring a professional agent (like me!) ensures your home is marketed at its highest level. That means professional photos, drone footage, accurate and compelling listing copy, and strategic marketing from day one. I’ll also walk you through what to expect, how to prepare, and help you avoid costly missteps.
Final Thoughts:
In today’s Kingman market, a well-prepared, properly priced home can sell within the first few weeks, sometimes even faster. But skipping steps or trying to cut corners? That’s when homes linger, lose momentum, and ultimately sell for less.
If you’re thinking about selling, I’d love to help you create a customized plan to get your home sold quickly, and for top dollar.
