in the calendar month of June, homes sales totaled more than 5 million,\u00a0According to the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae \u00a0on a seasonally-adjusted, annualized basis and shows no signs of slowing.<\/p>\n

More than half of homes that were listed through the MLS system were sold within 30 days or roughly one month. \u00a0The key is pricing your home right and preparing it to sell. According to Realtors that were interviewed in Michigan, if a house is priced right and listed, it will sell quickly.<\/p>\n
