"How Long Does It Take to Sell a Home in Wichita?"

By The Stanton Group, LLC – Real Broker | Wichita, Kansas


One of the first questions sellers ask us is:

“How long will it take to sell my home?”

The answer depends on several factors—pricing, location, condition, and market timing—but in most cases, homes in Wichita sell faster than many homeowners expect.

At The Stanton Group, we’ve helped hundreds of sellers navigate the timeline from listing to closing. Here’s a realistic look at how long it takes to sell a home in Wichita—and what you can do to speed up the process.


📊 Wichita Market Averages (2025)

As of this year, the average time on market for a well-priced home in Wichita is:

  • 15–30 days to go under contract

  • 30–45 days to close after contract acceptance

So most sellers can expect to sell and close within 45–75 days total.

🧠 However, your timeline can vary based on your price point, neighborhood, and strategy.


🧠 Key Factors That Affect Your Timeline

1. Pricing

Homes priced correctly based on local comps sell faster and often receive multiple offers.

🎯 Overpriced homes tend to sit longer and require price reductions—costing you time and money.


2. Condition and Presentation

Buyers in Wichita are drawn to homes that feel:

  • Clean and well-maintained

  • Move-in ready

  • Light, bright, and de-personalized

✅ Homes that are staged and photo-ready typically sell twice as fast.


3. Location

Some neighborhoods naturally move faster than others.

Hot areas for fast sales:

  • College Hill

  • Andover

  • Eastborough

  • Northwest Wichita

  • Homes near top-rated schools (Maize, Derby)

🏘 We provide hyper-local data so you know what’s happening on your street—not just in the ZIP code.


4. Season

Spring and summer (March–July) are peak buying seasons in Wichita.

Homes listed in these months tend to sell quicker due to:

  • School calendars

  • Better weather

  • Increased buyer motivation

❄️ Homes can still sell well in fall or winter—but with fewer active buyers, marketing becomes even more critical.


5. Marketing

Your listing’s visibility plays a huge role in how fast it sells.

At The Stanton Group, we use:

  • High-quality photography & video

  • SEO-optimized listing copy

  • Paid ads on Zillow, Google, Facebook, and Instagram

  • Buyer database alerts

  • Open house strategies to increase early activity

🚀 Most of our listings go under contract in under 14 days because we create a sense of urgency and excitement right away.


🧾 What Happens After You Accept an Offer?

Once under contract, here’s the typical closing timeline:

  • Inspection & repair negotiations: 5–10 days

  • Appraisal (if financed): 7–14 days

  • Final loan approval: 14–30 days

  • Closing day: Scheduled once all documents are complete

📋 We manage every deadline to keep your closing on track and stress-free.
