Hey Tooz in this market sellers are usually giving a 3 month possession date as it's harder that usual to find something to buy. Buyers on the other hand are in most cases looking for a quick possession as their home may have sold or for other reasons are rushing to get into something. I usually recommend giving a 60-90 day possession as that gives the sellers enough time to look for something to buy and the buyers enough time to get ready to move in. With my listings I like to set a specific possession that works for the sellers but also state that it's negotiable as you can always reject or counter dates not to your liking, hope that helps.
