Knowing how to sell a townhouse quickly will help owners when the time comes to move on to whatever is next. A niche buyer market and possible community competition present difficulties that might naturally increase a townhome’s time on the market.

But that doesn’t have to be the case. Justin Willard, a top-selling agent in Pembroke Pines, Florida, says that the general turnaround time on townhouses is somewhere between 3 and 30 days in his area.

So what’s the secret to selling a townhome fast? We’ll examine some of the particular challenges that townhome sellers may face, then offer expert insights on how to overcome each hurdle for a fast sale.

Find an Agent Who Specializes in Townhouse Sales

HomeLight analyzes millions of transactions to identify Realtors and real estate agents who frequently sell your type of property and move homes faster than average. Get matched with top candidates in your area at no cost.

Focus on the selling points of each type of townhome

While individual townhouse developments will vary in layout and features, the general characteristics of a townhouse include at least one shared wall, relative uniformity across units, and shared maintenance costs, paid for through HOA fees.

While those basic elements are fairly standard for townhomes, there are two different types of townhouse ownership, each with its own benefits. As a seller, you’ll need to know which type of ownership you’re offering to buyers so that you can highlight the advantages.

Fee simple townhouses

Fee simple townhouse ownership is very similar to that of a single-family home, where the ownership contract extends to everything from the roof down to the land that your home sits on.
