The annual 2008 average days on market for the Black Forest real estate market averaged at about 110 days. This means that the average home for sale in Black Forest sat on the market for between 3-4 months before accepting an offer.

Broken down by month, we see the following:

The highest days on market were in May (135 days) and the lowest days on market were in October (72 days).

Buyer Tip: The higher the average days on market, the more likely you are to get an offer accepted. Sellers are more likely to look at an offer when they have been for sale longer. Based on this graph, the best time to make an offer on a Black Forest home would be in May or any of the winter months (November – February).

Seller Tip: Putting your Black Forest home on the market in the beginning of Summer should yeild you the least amount of time on the market. This makes sense, as people are looking for homes for sale in Academy School District 20 (the school district the services Black Forest homes) and want to move in before the new school year starts.
