Frankly while it is an intelligent question there is no simple intelligent answer.

You can probably look up the month in which more homes are sold.
The fact is YOU are selling ONE home to ONE buyer not at all an average statistic.

We sold our home in the north in only two weeks. We did it at the worst time of the year December for the north. We did use a broker. I'm sure you will find people who have sat on a home for a year or more. Compared to others, with whatever issues,
we had a great experience.

Selling without a broker? My OPINION, you think you will save the commission. The problem is a buyer looking at for sale by owner, is doing that THINKING they will save the commission.
The problem is obvious, both the buyer and the seller cannot save the same commission.

YOU? If a buyer comes in and wonders who was stupid enough to choose that color paint or put that tree there will you be offended as you chose that paint or you remember planting that tree with ?????????? If a buyer says they will be over at 10:00 and they show up hours late etc etc etc
