If priced correctly, most houses in the Jacksonville area will sell in 90 - 120 days. If you are thinking of selling your home you should considered getting an appraisal first.
We are currently in a buyer's market and there are a lot of homes for sale out there. Potential buyers won't take the time look at a home that they think is over priced. Furthermore, in a declining market, the longer your house sits unsold the less you are likely get for it.
Houses that are over priced often stay on the market until the seller is forced to drop the price in order to sell quickly. Then it may actually sell for less than market value. It's better to know what the market value actually is so you can determine the correct price before you list it for sale.
An appraisal can provide you with an accurate, professional estimation of your homes current market value. This can save you a lot of time and money. It can also be a powerful sales tool you can show to potential buyers.
