Lowest days on market by state

Median days homes stay listed.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

The median number of days a home for sale remains on the market. It describes current market pace, not a prediction or a universal good: fewer days can mean a competitive market for buyers and more leverage for sellers; more days can give buyers more time and choice.
