How long does it take to sell a home in Willis?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
In Willis, homes that sold in the last 12 months averaged between 90 and 157 cumulative days on the market, depending on the month, and the 648 homes for sale now have been listed for an average of 109 cumulative days. Timing is mostly pricing: how long a home takes depends on its condition, price band and how it is priced against recent sales.
Days on the market
We track cumulative days on the market, which keeps counting when a home is relisted, because the portal number resets. For homes that sold in Willis, the monthly average ran from 90 to 157 days across the 12 months to August 2026. Among the 648 active homes, the ladder is: 210 at 0 to 30 days, 80 at 31 to 60 days, 78 at 61 to 90 days, 280 at 90+ days. The average active home has been listed 109 cumulative days (59 days by the resetting count).
Price cuts and timing
About 44% of active homes here have had at least one price cut, which is a sign of how often the first price needed adjusting. For a seller, the first 30 days are usually the most valuable, and waiting to adjust a price is often the slowest route. For a buyer, a home that has been listed a long time is a different negotiation from one that is new. Numbers like these describe the whole of Willis, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line.

Common follow-up questions
What is cumulative days on market?
It adds up all the days a home has been for sale, even if it was taken off and relisted, so it shows how long the home has really been available.
Is a long time on the market a bad sign?
Not always, but it does mean the market has not accepted the first price, and the seller's next step usually involves price.
