Is it worth paying a real estate agent to sell your house?
Three quarters of agent-listed properties in the past 10 years were successfully sold, compared to 65.1 percent of privately listed properties. File photo. Photo: You might pay a real estate agent $30,000 or more to sell your home. But is it worth it? Analysis by property data firm Cotality suggests it might be. Each year, a small number of people opt to sell their homes privately - from a low of 3.1 percent in 2021 to 8 percent in 2016. Last year, it was 7.6 percent. But Cotality head of research Nick Goodall said agents seemed to sell properties more quickly and effectively. "The sales success rate is higher for agent sales - by an average of 11.5 percent over the 10 year period." Roughly 76 percent of agent-listed properties in the past 10 years were successfully sold, compared to 65.1 percent of privately listed properties. Last year 65 percent of agent listed properties sold, compared to 52.8 percent for private sales. Goodall said real estate salespeople would often have an understanding of which buyers might be in the market for a particular property and could target them more effectively than a private seller might. "The typical days on market for agent sales is also most often shorter. In 2021 - the market peak - the median days on market for agent sales was 24, while it was 40 for private sales. Interestingly last year was the one year to buck that trend, with agent sales taking a median of 75 days, compared to 71 days for private." He said the median sales price for properties sold by agents was higher, too, but that could reflect a different mix of properties being sold. "Vendors may be more likely to sell their property privately when it's a lower value property, whereas owners of more expensive property might be more likely to use an agent." He said last year's higher rate of private sales could reflect vendors being aware that prices were not strong and looking to save money where they could. "Nonetheless, for the record, the median sales price of properties sold by agents this year is $740,000, compared to $662,500 for private sales. Last year the respective figures were $735,000 for agents and $704,000 for private." Goodall said the data was not definitive enough to say whether agents were delivering enough extra value to pay their commission. At Barfoot & Thompson, for example, a $750,000 sale would incur $23,978 in commission. A $1 million sale would mean just under $30,000. "The figure for this year is almost $100,000 so I'd say that would justify it if it was like-for-like properties. But the year before was closer so you might be sort of borderline there." Goodall said people selling privately would also need to account for the time they would need to spend on the process. "Having to take time off work or the opportunity cost or what else you could be doing if you have to spend all that time preparing to sell a property on your own, you know that might bring the calculation a little bit closer as well." Real estate agent Brooke Gibson said she could understand why people would sell privately. She did it herself before she entered the industry. But she said she could see that agents would add value for most people, particularly when it came to negotiating. "You could actually easily kill the deal because you know, if someone comes up to you and you're opening up your house to them and they go 'how much do you want?' and you say $1 million and he thinks it's worth $700,000 for example, he's going to be like 'nah not interested." Wellington salesperson Mike Robbers agreed. He said agents would also often present properties a bit better than private sellers would, with professional photography and home staging. "Private sellers often start out with a very high price in mind, then reduce it over time when there's no interest, but by then the listing has gone 'cold'. Agents tend to use their market knowledge to get the pricing strategy right from the outset, so the listing doesn't sit as long on the market." He said some buyers also expected to pay less for a private sale because the seller did not have to cover commission. Real Estate Authority chief executive Belinda Moffat said whether it was better to sell privately or through an agency would depend on the seller's specific circumstances, the property itself and the seller's knowledge and experience. "Licensed real estate professionals are trained and experienced in working on behalf of homeowners to help them navigate property transactions with confidence and are legally required to seek the best outcome for their client." She said all real estate salespeople were required to follow the standards in the Code of Professional Conduct and Client Care and meet their obligations under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008. "If a person works with a licensed real estate professional, and an issue arises with their professional conduct, the person has the option to make a formal complaint to REA and/or to raise the issue with their agency." Agents should provide a current market appraisal (CMA) of what a property might sell for before they signed an agency agreement. "(CMA) of what they think the property might sell for before the seller signs an agency agreement. The CMA must be informed by comparable recent sales in the area and can be helpful in understanding what the property may be worth. They will also prepare a proposed marketing plan which the seller can discuss, amend and agree to. "They also understand and can advise on the important legal disclosure obligations a seller has when selling a property, including in relation to defects and unconsented alterations. If a seller knowingly fails to disclose relevant information to buyers, they could be in breach of the terms of their agreement with any buyer, meaning the sale could fall over or the buyer could seek compensation and take court action." She said vendors might be able to negotiate commission. People choosing to sell privately should research the process so they understood what was require, she said. Moffat said confidence in the industry had lifted from 70 percent in 2021 to 82 percent last year. Goodall said there was demand for property but there remained high numbers of listings. "I think if you're willing to be very, very flexible on that price then it's probably not that difficult to get a sale, but it's all about you know, your expectation, what you want to do, if you're buying in the same market, if you're moving elsewhere..." He said some people were still hung up on the prices being paid at the peak of the market and were finding it hard to adjust their expectations.

Is it worth using a real estate agent?

Top 20 US places where homes sell fastest
When the time comes to put your home on the market, a host of questions need to be answered. The most pressing question is, 'How long will my house take to sell?' This is also an interesting talking point from a home buyer's perspective. It's important to know how much time you've got to put an offer in on your dream property before it's snapped up by someone else. The key statistic that matters in this context is Days on Market (DOM), which is the average time between a home being advertised and an offer being accepted. Just as house prices vary from place to place, DOM averages differ greatly depending on where you're looking to buy or where you're planning to sell. Peek beneath the surface, and there's even more interesting data to dissect. Because while you might expect that the fastest-moving markets would be those with the highest total sales volume each month, that's rarely the case. Clearly, there's a lot to discuss, so if you're keen to understand where homes sell fastest and why, strap in as Offerpad discusses the figures and explanations behind this aspect of the housing market. The data used is sourced from Redfin, covering sales that occurred between January 1 and May 31, 2025. The DOM figures are averages for a given city, region, or state. So while some houses may have sold quicker and some slower, Offerpad is looking at the mean. It's also important to note that this data set excludes any places with fewer than 500 home sales recorded within the allotted time period. This is essentially a measure to exclude any anomalous information from statistical outliers, which aren't reflective of broader trends and are therefore not particularly useful for the vast majority of buyers and sellers. Read on for an overview of the 20 places where homes sell fastest, first dealing with the 10 quickest-moving state-level markets, then the 10 cities with the lowest average DOM figures in the first half of 2025. Without further ado, here's a roundup of the states where homes are listed and sold in the shortest amount of time on average: Massachusetts – 26.4 DOM – 21,380 Homes Sold Washington – 27.6 DOM – 33,659 Homes Sold Nebraska – 31.4 DOM - 7,864 Homes Sold Kansas – 31.8 DOM - 12,180 Homes Sold Rhode Island – 32.2 DOM – 3910 Homes Sold Alaska – 32.2 DOM – 2544 Homes Sold Virginia – 33 DOM - 42,267 Homes Sold Michigan – 35.6 DOM - 42,550 Homes Sold Indiana – 36.2 DOM - 31,253 Homes Sold Maryland – 36.4 DOM - 25,057 Homes Sold The top two spots, held by Massachusetts and Washington, are not necessarily that surprising. Both had total sales volumes that matched their large populations and economic significance. In fact, Massachusetts was recently recognized as a national leader for its economic clout. Like Washington, it's a hub for education and tech, so you'd expect to see a high demand for housing, reflected in low average DOM. What's more interesting is the absence of some big-hitters. California, which has the fourth largest economy on the world stage, is outside of this top 10, and New York doesn't quite make it into the top 20 states where homes sell fastest. Instead, there are smaller states with lower sales volumes, such as Rhode Island and Alaska, which sit higher up than their much larger counterparts. The reasons behind this trend are discussed in more detail below, but for now, it's essential to know that states with the highest number of homes sold in 2025 are not always those with the swiftest overall markets. California alone saw 108,466 homes change hands this year, yet its average DOM of 37.8 means most owners were waiting well over a month before their listings turned into an acceptable offer from a buyer. This is where even more intriguing details about the state of the housing market come to light, as there's an obvious disconnect between the picture painted by the DOM data at the state level and how things appear in specific cities, counties, or metropolitan areas. Before any analysis, here's the list of the 10 fastest-moving local-level housing markets: Monroe County, NY – 10 DOM – 2,420 Homes Sold Lancaster County, PA – 10.2 DOM – 1,953 Homes Sold Lancaster, PA Metro Area - 10.2 DOM – 1,940 Homes Sold Bellevue, WA - 10.2 DOM – 577 Homes Sold Rochester, NY Metro Area – 10.8 DOM – 3,271 Homes Sold Berks County, PA – 11.6 DOM – 1,540 Homes Sold Reading, PA Metro Area – 11.6 DOM – 1,540 Homes Sold Cumberland County, PA - 13.4 DOM – 1,065 Homes Sold Grand Rapids, MI – 13.8 DOM – 941 Homes Sold Lehigh County, PA – 14.2 DOM – 1,279 Homes Sold Again, the cities, counties, or regions with the shortest average gap between a home being put up for sale and a buyer having their offer accepted by the seller are not those with the largest total volume of sales. Monroe County, NY, holds the top spot, excluding its most populous city, Rochester, which also ranks in the top 10. This is a far cry from New York, NY, which saw 12,319 homes sold this year so far, but which has an average DOM of 66.2. So, selling a house in the Big Apple takes over six times as long as doing so in the comparatively sleepy Monroe County. Once again, large, heavily populated urban areas in other states are conspicuous by their absence from the top 10. There were 7,395 home sales in Los Angeles, CA, between January 1 and May 31, 2025. On average, homes in the city sat on the market for 54.2 days during this time. The Austin, TX Metro Area was even more sluggish. The typical DOM was 72.4 across a total of 11,922 homes sold year-to-date. This trend was consistent across all of Texas' largest city regions, including Dallas and Houston. All in all, it's not unreasonable to feel quite surprised by all of these statistics. So, what's going on and why should you care? The clearest conclusion drawn from the data is that there are some seriously competitive housing markets in smaller states and regions, meaning that there's little to no correlation between the number of properties changing hands and the number of days each home stays on the market. In fact, there's arguably an inverse correlation in some cases, with the nation's largest and most heavily populated areas, such as California and Texas, having some of the highest average DOM figures. Of course, there are exceptions to this. The Seattle, WA metro area ranks 13th in average days on the market, with 14.8. Meanwhile, its sales volumes of 13,365 also make it the 20th largest market overall. Likewise, Santa Clara County, CA, shares the same DOM average as Seattle, as it is home to Silicon Valley and has a median home sale price of $1.7 million, up from $1.59 million last year. That's significantly higher than Seattle's $893,000 average, and a lot more than Monroe County, NY's $258,900 average. Of course, the tech powerhouses of Seattle and Silicon Valley don't tell us much about the wider reality of the housing market at the moment. For the majority of buyers and sellers, it's clear that the amount of market activity, as extrapolated from the DOM average, is more useful as a means of judging competitiveness than simply looking at population figures and sales volumes. The question that remains is, why is this useful? Well, there are a couple of good reasons: There are some places where homes sell fast, and others where they are likely to sit unsold for several months. With this information to hand, you can make informed decisions about how to act as a buyer or as a seller. So, for instance, if you're looking to buy a home in a market like Monroe County, NY, where most properties are sold a little over a week after being listed, you need to act fast. Also, you have to be prepared to outbid other prospective buyers in order to secure your dream home. Having all of your ducks in a row before you start looking to buy a house in this type of competitive market is a must, or you'll end up missing out. Likewise, if you're aiming to sell your home, don't just assume that it will be snapped up swiftly because you live in a big city with a large population. There might be plenty of potential buyers in places like NYC and Los Angeles, but there are a similarly large number of sellers. As such, you have to bed in for the long haul, accept that you might not get an offer you're happy with for several weeks, and do what you can to improve the saleability of your home in other ways, such as boosting kerb appeal and carrying out interior improvements. Another key takeaway from examining average DOM and sales volumes is that this information gives you a stronger negotiating position when dealing with real estate agents. For buyers, you'll have an understanding of when a realtor is being honest about how sought-after a home is, and how quickly you'll need to act to secure it. It's much less stressful to deal with some of the potential high-pressure sales tactics when you've got hard data to hand. For sellers, it's a lifeline in terms of recognizing when agents you're going to list with are being honest about how quickly they'll be able to sell your home. Just because they can boast high sales volumes does not mean that the DOM will be that impressive, as we've shown. The 20 places where homes sell fastest are a mixed bag, and are always changing, so it's your duty to understand things like the average DOM and the sales volumes in the states, cities, and regions you're buying or selling in. Thankfully, it doesn't require much research to gather empowering information about region-specific real estate markets, whether they're fast-paced and competitive or a little more laid-back. Most importantly, the size and profile of a place do not typically have a direct correlation with the competitiveness of the housing market. Outside of a handful of exceptions like Seattle, it's the mid-size locations that have the biggest potential to surprise you.

Outdoor Baths, Americans Are Driving Cotswolds Property Trends
Its July in the Cotswolds, the roses are blooming outside honey-stoned houses, and hotels and trendy pubs like the Bull in Charlbury are jammed-full of both locals and tourists journeying into England's most famous countryside area. On a Friday, I hopped on an early train from London's Paddington station to the small Cotswolds village of Kingham to meet with top agents and designers—one who had just finished breakfast with a North American buyer looking to relocate. The blooms also mark the prime time to sell homes—agents say sellers often won't let buyers visit until everything is in season and the sun is shining. And according to Harry Gladwin, head of the Cotswolds for the Buying Solution, the market for £10–£20 million ($13.6–$27 million) houses is busier than ever.
