How Long Are Houses Taking to Sell in Floyds Knobs Right Now?

There is no single number for how long houses are taking to sell in Floyds Knobs right now. It depends on the price, the condition and how many similar homes are for sale near you, so the honest answer comes from recent sales of homes like yours.

A local agent can pull those numbers from the MLS, the database agents use to list and track homes. Here's how to read them, and what you can do to keep your own sale moving in Floyds Knobs, Floyd County, Indiana.

Selling Has Two Clocks

"How long to sell" really means two things.

• Days on market. This is how many days a home is listed before the seller accepts an offer.
• Days to close. This is the time from an accepted offer to closing day, when the keys and money change hands. It usually takes several weeks, because the buyer's loan, appraisal (the lender's check on value) and inspections all need time.
  
  

If you're planning a move, count both clocks.

What Makes a Floyds Knobs House Sell Faster or Slower

Two homes on the same road can have very different timelines. Here's why:

• Price. Homes priced in line with recent nearby sales tend to draw offers sooner than homes priced above them.
• Condition. Buyers move faster when they don't see a long repair list.
• Your kind of home. Floyds Knobs has subdivision homes and homes on more land. They don't always draw the same buyers, so compare yours to homes like it.
• Paperwork. Questions that can't be answered quickly can slow a buyer down, before or after the offer.

The Floyd County Detail: Have Your Neighborhood Covenants Ready

If your home is in a subdivision, it may have covenants. Covenants are recorded rules for a neighborhood. They may cover things like fences, sheds or outbuildings.

You can find them yourself. The Floyd County Recorder's Office has an online Neighborhood Covenant Search on its Plats & Restrictions page. If you can't find your subdivision's covenants, the page says to contact the office by email. The office is at 311 Hauss Square, Room 115, in New Albany, and the phone number is 812-948-5430.

Having the covenants on hand before you list means one less question holding up a buyer. If your home is on septic, the same idea applies. Our post on buying a bigger house in Floyds Knobs explains how to request a septic record from the Floyd County Health Department.

A Tip From a Local Agent

When a seller asks me how long it'll take, I don't stop at the homes that sold. I also pull the similar homes that are still sitting and the ones that came off the market without selling. Sold homes show you what worked. The ones still sitting show you what buyers passed on. Ask your agent for all three lists, not just the good news.

Related Questions

Is now a good time to sell in Floyds Knobs, IN?

No one can promise where prices or rates are headed, so it comes down to your plans and your next home. Start with what your house would likely sell for and what your next payment would be.

What happens if my Floyds Knobs house sells before my new house is ready?

You may be able to ask the buyer for a later possession date, which is the day you hand over the keys, and the purchase agreement spells it out. Other sellers rent short-term or line up both closings close together.

Do I have to fill out a disclosure form to sell my house in Floyds Knobs?

Yes, in most home sales. Indiana's Seller's Residential Real Estate Sales Disclosure (State Form 46234) is given to the buyer before you accept an offer, so filling it out early saves time.
