How Long Does it Take to Prepare my Home to Sell?

Preparing a home for sale can take anywhere from two weeks to six months, with a thorough, well-planned preparation typically taking four to six weeks. If time is short, a focused effort on deep cleaning, decluttering, and improving curb appeal can be accomplished in about two weeks. The timeline depends on factors like the home's condition, the amount of work needed, and the local market.

Typical preparation timeline
  • For a quick, urgent sale:  Two weeks is possible by focusing only on high-impact tasks like deep cleaning and decluttering.
  • For a standard sale:  Four to six weeks is a realistic timeframe to allow for inspections, repairs, and staging.
  • For major renovations:  Six months or more may be necessary if the home requires significant upgrades like new flooring, doors, or major bathroom remodels. 

Key tasks and when to do them
  • As soon as you decide to sell:  Contact a real estate agent to get their expert advice on what needs to be done and what can be skipped.
  • One to two months before listing:   Address major issues and upgrades, and start decluttering to get a head start on packing.
  • Three weeks before listing:  Focus on minor repairs, deep cleaning, and refreshing the interior design.
  • One week before listing:   Focus on the final touches, like tidying up the exterior and doing a final check-in with your agent to confirm the marketing plan.
  • Day of showing:  Do a final walk-through and a quick tidy-up.
