How Long Will It Take To Sell My Home?

If you’re thinking about selling your home, one of the first questions that probably comes to mind is:
“How long will it take to sell?”

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer — but understanding what’s happening in our local Orangeburg marketcan help you plan, prepare, and set realistic expectations.

The Average Days on Market (DOM)

Across South Carolina, the average home typically stays on the market between 45–90 days, depending on the price range, location, and condition.

In Orangeburg County, homes that are priced competitively and move-in ready tend to attract more buyer attention and may go under contract even faster — often within the first 30 days of listing.

Higher-end properties or homes in rural areas may take a bit longer to find the right buyer, sometimes stretching closer to 90–120 days. That doesn’t mean your home isn’t desirable — it simply means your buyer pool is smaller and may need a little more time to reach you.

Factors That Influence Your Selling Timeline

1. 📍 Location, Location, Location
   Homes closer to town, schools, and amenities tend to sell faster than those farther out. Convenience still sells!

2. 💲 Pricing Strategy
   The biggest factor in how long a home sits on the market is the price. A home that’s priced right from the start attracts serious buyers and stronger offers. Overpricing, even slightly, can lead to longer days on market and fewer showings.

3. ✨ Condition and Curb Appeal
   First impressions matter! Simple updates like fresh paint, decluttering, and landscaping can shorten your time on market and increase your final sales price.

4. 📸 Marketing and Exposure
   Your home deserves more than just a sign in the yard. Professional photography, strong social media promotion, and digital exposure through platforms like Homes.com, Zillow, and the MLS are key to getting eyes on your property.

5. 📅 Seasonality
   Spring and early summer typically bring more buyers, but in Orangeburg, homes sell year-round thanks to steady local demand and affordable prices.
