TL;DR: The average home in Albany sells in about 19 days. My listings average 11 days thanks to pre-launch buyer previews, smart social campaigns, and perfect timing.
Average days on market (DOM) in Albany
Across the Albany 6330 region, the average days on market sits around 19 days. That’s already faster than most regional areas in Western Australia. Nationally, the average hovers anywhere between 25 and 65 days, depending on market conditions.
Speed in Albany comes from genuine buyer demand, lifestyle appeal, and a shortage of well-presented listings. When homes are priced correctly and marketed properly, they move fast.
How my listings average 11 days
I track all my listings from launch to accepted offer, and right now my average is 11 days on market. That’s nearly half the local benchmark.
Here’s how we make that happen:
- VIP Pre-Launch (3–5 days): I give qualified buyers early access through a quiet off-market phase. It builds curiosity and often sparks early offers before public release.
- Strategic Social Media: I run big, high-impact campaigns on Instagram and Facebook, combining professional visuals, Reels, and boosted posts targeting local buyers.
- Final Market Launch (7–10 days): Once live, the campaign captures any remaining buyer pool — creating that final wave of strong interest and competition.
Example: A Middleton Beach home recently attracted three offers within 48 hours of going live, thanks to pre-launch buzz and early-week social timing.
What actually affects how long it takes to sell
- Presentation. Clean, styled, well-lit homes get more attention and faster inspections.
- Pricing strategy. Setting an honest, competitive range creates urgency and buyer confidence.
- Marketing reach. A strong online presence across REA, Domain, and social platforms exposes your home to thousands more eyes.
- Season & timing. Albany’s best buyer windows are spring and early summer — when the coastline shines and families plan moves.
- Agent communication. Keeping hot buyers informed and engaged can shave days off the process.
How to shorten your own days on market
- Start with a free property appraisal to understand where your price should sit today.
- Plan your presentation: a tidy garden, clean paint lines, and professional photos make all the difference.
- Use a full marketing plan — not just a listing. That includes video, drone, and social pushes during peak times.
- Be available for inspections. Flexibility often means the right buyer sees it first.
Why days on market matter
The longer a property stays listed, the more buyers start to wonder if something’s wrong. Short, energetic campaigns keep excitement high and prices strong. Selling quickly doesn’t mean underselling — it means positioning your property correctly from the start.
