Approximately 11,000 Homes Will Sell Today – Will Yours Be Among Them?
Worried About Selling Your Home in Today’s Market? Here’s Why You Don’t Need to Be.
Are you holding off on selling your house because you’re worried no one’s buying? With higher mortgage rates and rising home prices, it’s natural to feel uncertain. But here’s the truth: buyers are still out there, and the market isn’t at a standstill.
Let’s put things into perspective: while the number of home sales last year wasn’t as high as in a typical market, approximately 4.15 million homes sold in 2024, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). That’s not including new construction! And as we move into 2025, experts anticipate that this number will increase, meaning more people are planning to move—and they’ll need homes to buy. Homes like yours.
But even if sales only match last year’s numbers, the math tells an impressive story:
- 4.15 million homes ÷ 365 days in a year = 11,370 homes sold daily
- 11,370 homes ÷ 24 hours in a day = 474 homes sold every hour
- 474 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sold every minute
Think about that: in just the time it takes you to read this, about 8 homes have already sold.
If you’re concerned that higher prices and mortgage rates are keeping buyers away, let me reassure you—there are still thousands of buyers searching for homes every single day. While some have been sidelined by affordability challenges, life continues to move forward. People are still starting families, relocating for jobs, downsizing, or upgrading their living spaces. These are buyers who can’t wait for “perfect” market conditions—they need to buy now.
This is where the right real estate agent becomes essential. By working with an experienced agent who knows how to market your home effectively, you can stand out to those eager buyers. While some homeowners are hesitating, you’ll already have your home in front of the people who are ready to act.
What Does This Mean for You?
The opportunity to sell your home is real. Every single day, over 11,000 homes sell, and there’s no reason yours can’t be one of them. With the right strategy, you can take advantage of the demand that still exists in the market.
Bottom Line
If you’ve been on the fence about selling your house, let this serve as your reminder: the market is active, and buyers are out there. Don’t let fear of uncertainty hold you back.
