Those averages look pretty good. Especially given the economic times we are in. I sure wish people struggling with having too much mortgage and who are considering moving to more affordable housing could see those numbers. That Average Days on Market timeline could actually help distressed homeowners. How So? Well consider that Texas is considered a “fast foreclosure” state. What does that mean? Well that means that from a homeowners first defaulted payment they typically have about 90 - 120 days for a house to go through a complete foreclosure. Get the picture now? Reasonable Average Days on Market = One more option to aid a persons overall financial picture. Sure losing your home is an ugly ordeal, but I would rather try to sell my house and proactively mend my financial situation, then to sit by and be forced out the house. Hey we live in Texas! Our Sherriff’s still come to the door to kick people out and foreclosure sale auctions can take place on the doorstep of your very own “former” home. Knowledge is power and knowing the truth about your options can save your personal finances, credit, and sanity.
