Traditionally larger, more expensive homes take longer to sell. In the past, 4 to 5 months was a normal time-frame to expect. In 2006 that dipped down to 3 months and so far in 2009 the average has been just over 6 months.
This neighborhood is beautiful, and most people aren’t in a hurry to leave. If homes are priced at today’s market rates they don’t take long to sell, but if they are overpriced buyers will let them sit on the market for months waiting for prices to come down.
