According to Virginia REALTORS, the time it takes homes to sell continues to decline. In April 2021, homes were on the market an average of 25 days statewide, which is 16 days faster than the average in April 2020 and six days faster than in March 2021. Becuase the market is so competitive, buyers and their REALTORS are looking for properties before they hit the market.
