As of 2019, selling a house in the United States takes an average of 68 days — approximately 35 days to get an offer, then another 35 to 45 days to close (sometimes longer, depending on the buyer's financing method). By the numbers, an iBuyer is the fastest way to sell a house. Houses are selling fast in your city, so you think yours will be easy to sell – and for top dollar.
