Abstract
This study empirically examines what factors increase the probability of a quick sale, an event where a property sells quicker than what is considered a normal marketing duration. This investigation is the first to explore the determinants of the probability of a quick sale utilizing a Probit methodology. Findings of the study suggest that overpricing, increased housing inventory, and increased listings by the listing broker decrease the probability of a quick sale. Dual agency, rising interest rates, and vacant properties increase the probability of a quick sale.
