In my area, homes sell over a weekend

That was true in my neighbourhood as well, up until a few month ago. Now I know two or three people around me that have moved and have been trying to sell their houses for months and aren't even getting low ball bids.

But even if you manage to sell your house within 24 hours of putting it on the market without having to do any work on it, there can still be a few months lag between you actually moving out and the new owner moving in.
