Days on Market to sell a property has been averaging approx. 3 months, and properties are selling at approx. 90% of current list price. The large increase in days on the market for properties sold in February is actually a good sign showing that several properties that had been on the market for a long time were finally sold, which shows the relative lack of inventory when properties which have been on the market a long time start to sell.
