Speaking from actual experience, we just sold our starter home in Mckenzie relatively quickly. I believe it was on the market for 20 days, we had a lot of traffic through it and got close enough to our asking price to satisfy us.
However since we were upgrading to a larger more expensive home we had a tonne of choice and not much competition and most of the places we were looking at were on the market for at least a month, more likely 2.
It actually seemed quite advantageous as it seemed like we were selling into a sellers market at the lower housing price range, but buying in a buyers market at the higher housing price range.
I did pay attention to the market in the surrounding area for quite a while and the general trend seemed to dictate that if we had sold last year at the exact same time we probably could have sold for about 5-10% more.
