Just anecdotal evidence, but my house in Lake Denham, which I close in less than 2 weeks, was on the market for about 3 weeks. We don't know exactly, and surprisingly the realtor doesn't have that info. But we were able to figure it out from the date of termite cert, and some other listings.

Before we visited and purchased (August 14) there were maybe 10 homes released in our neighborhood. 3 of them preserve sites we were interested in. We bought 1, the other 2 plus most of the interiors are now sold. Seemed like a bunch went under contract the same week as we did.

I don't know if that's normal. A lot more in the area have been released in the last 2 weeks. The preserve sites are selling fast. There are a few that maybe are too close to Meggison, or just interior small lots, that are still not sold.

Based on our Lake Denham Facebook page, they are selling quickly. I'm guessing people have enough time to hop on a plane and check out the house before they buy, rather than buying site unseen. But it doesn't seem like a slow down.
