Listing to close, broken down
Time on market until an accepted offer is the part a seller controls through pricing and presentation; escrow then adds the rest.
| Stage | Typical time | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Listing to accepted offer | Median 8 days total, minus escrow | Price vs. comps, photos, MLS exposure from day one, showing response |
| Escrow — financed buyer | 21–35 days | Appraisal, loan underwriting, contingencies |
| Escrow — cash buyer | 7–14 days | Inspection and title only |
| Carson active listings today | Median 14 days on market | 0% have cut their price |
What shortens it in Carson
Pricing at the comps on day one (homes that cut price later sit longer), professional photos, MLS exposure from the first day, and quick response to showing requests — all of which are part of a Listlly listing.
