As you head out to the suburbs, West Chester  and Mason continues to attract buyers.   Both locations are well below the MLS average of 52 days on market.  While homes sales in Wyoming are much higher average. 

The numbers are averages cover entire neighborhoods and each area has streets and price ranges that sell as soon as they hit the market.  Both buyers and sellers need to look at the real numbers for a property before making any pricing or buying decisions.  However it’s a safe bet if your home has been for sale for a significant number days more than the average in your area- pricing is a problem.
