The 50 places where homes are taking the longest to sell, some S.C. towns made the list
The median number of days a home spent on the market in February was 48, five fewer days than the year before. Slowing home sales can indicate a given market is more buyer-friendly. It can also signal a mismatch between purchasing power and market conditions.
Stacker compiled a list of metros where homes took the longest to sell in February using data from Redfin. Metros, which include the main city as well as its surrounding towns and suburbs, are ranked by the median number of days a home was listed before it sold. In the case of ties, metros with the most home sales overall were ranked higher. Metros with more than 300 home sales were included.
