180 days or it is not worth it in my opinion.

I shoot for 6 months.  

No less than 6 months, 3 months if they are flying of the streets....

90 days has been the shortest, but in a hot market homes will sell before go can kit your advertising into full gear.

Richard the shortest we usually do a listing is six months.

6 months

It would depend on how desirable the property was and what the price was.  I have taken a one week listing in the past and sold it.

Richard - I typically take a listing for 6 months, but typically will sell the home prior to the listing expiring. As far as the shortest time period I would accept, probably 90 days, but the home would have to be move-in ready and priced to sell immediately.

I use the average time on market from the CMA I presented to the seller in determining the list price.

in a seller's market, 30 days.....in a buyer's market 4 months....

3 months

30-days, if I already have a buyer, only one week!

120 days

Most of the time six months, there are exceptions when the conditions are right. For vacant land, I take one year listings now.

6 months

Richard Weeks - I usually take 3-6 months listing - however, it has an open 'EASY EXIT' guarantee! If they feel I am not doing my job, they can fire me!

I always work for 6 month contracts.  Any shorter seems to be a waste unless the Seller is really aggressive with price.

I will do 90 days if it is in prime condition, totally available to show, has a cooperative seller and is not priced over the market. I want to know why they will not list longer but it may be they want to rent it.

Richard, 

I always ask for 6 months, but in the present market would accept less.  Invetory is so low, if we were in agreement on the approach I could consider 60 days with little worry we'd get there.   

It all depends, last year I agreed to a 30 day listing agreement because I knew I'd have it listed and sold within that time, which I did.

I have listed and sold the home the same day on more than one occasion.

Richard Weeks Six months, but preferably one year.

Depends on price range, location, the market conditions and if the seller is pricing based on comps or by s.w.a.g. market knowledge.

6 Months for most.

If less, then the agreement will be extended when offer accepted to cover paper flow and lender variables, approvals or repairs if needed.

4 months unless there are situations that requires a shorter timeframe.

6 months. Our market is so variable even well priced homes can sit for 180 days, which is our average DOM.

60 Days. I usually sell a home within the first few weeks, so for me, it works.

One day. (You know who the seller is)

30 days if the seller agrees to the price they MUST accept.

60 days if the seller is committed and truly intends to sell. This is the preferred PFL strategy.

Most listing are 6 months.
