Selling a house is a significant step that involves a mix of emotions and often requires a good deal of patience. Many people wonder how long it actually takes to successfully complete the sale of a property, and our answer is always that it depends on a combination of various aspects.
In this article, we'll explore the main factors that can influence the time a property stays on the market and those that can contribute to speeding up its sale.
Understanding how long it takes to sell a house in the Canton of Ticino is essential to delve into the context of the real estate market in Switzerland. How is the demand evolving? What are the current market trends? Factors such as property type, location, amenities, and surrounding infrastructure play a crucial role in property sales, especially in a dynamic sector like real estate and in a market that experiences no crises like the Swiss market.
In high-demand areas, such as the most prestigious zones in Lugano, properties tend to sell more quickly and to the greater satisfaction of the outgoing owners. An accurate analysis of the context, therefore, helps establish realistic expectations about the time needed to close the deal.
Once the market landscape is understood, it's time to focus on the best strategies to accelerate the sale of your home.
A well-planned real estate marketing strategy can reduce the time the property spends on the market, speeding up the sales process: a well-presented home, excellent online visibility, the correct pricing, and the ability to attract and manage highly motivated potential buyers are just some of the key elements of a winning strategy.
Using a combination of online and offline tools, such as high-quality professional photos, virtual tours, and targeted advertising, can make a difference.
For years, we've specialized in providing home staging and professional photography services (including drone photography) to capture the essence of the properties we manage and generate interest among buyers.
The speed at which a property is sold is also influenced by variables beyond the direct control of the seller.
While we understand how correctly defining the selling price is a determining factor for the success of a deal and often entirely within the property owner's realm, other elements like the time of year, global economic conditions, and legislative aspects can play a significant role and are points over which - as sellers - we have limited control.
That's why relying on the support of a specialized real estate agency is always the best choice: professionals in the field can analyze and understand these factors, monitor market trends, and adjust strategies to reduce sales times.
Choosing a real estate agency deeply rooted in the area, with established contacts and a dynamic catalog of properties for sale, can be the key to synchronizing sales needs with market trends.
Every property is unique: with the right skills, the best strategies, and attention to detail, we can optimize the chances of completing a real estate transaction in a short time.
