The Florida housing market is now looking more favorable for buyers instead of sellers.
The latest 2025 housing data from Zillow breaks down the length of time it’s taking for the average number of days for a sale to close. In their report, Zillow calculates the average time for a property listing to go from having an offer accepted to closing, ranking each state from the highest to the lowest number of days.
It found that Texas is the state where it takes the longest to sell your home. The latest data showed it takes 87.11 days on average for sellers to accept an offer and 30.20 days on average to close the sale. This means it takes an average of 117.31 days to sell a home completely from listing a property, the most of any state.
Louisiana comes second on the list. On average, it takes 77.78 days for an offer to be accepted for homes in the state, followed by an additional 34.15 days to close the sale, resulting in a total of 111.92 days on average.
Florida comes in third. In the state, it takes an average of 76.63 days for an offer to be accepted and 33.93 days to close the sale, for a total average of 110.56 days.
Commenting on the findings, Shaun Bettman, CEO of Eden Emerald Mortgages said: “These findings highlight the significant difference in the time it takes to sell a home across the United States. While some regions, like Mississippi and Louisiana, experience longer selling times due to things like market conditions, sellers need to understand local trends and adjust their expectations accordingly. Sellers can benefit from working closely with real estate professionals who are familiar with the differences between states helping them navigate the process smoothly and efficiently.”
