How Long Does It Take to Sell a House in Puerto Rico? What Sellers Should Expect in 2025

Introduction: Timing Is Everything When Selling

If you're planning to sell your home in Puerto Rico in 2025, one of your first questions might be: "How long will it take to sell?" The answer? It depends—but with the right team, you can control the process, minimize delays, and close with confidence.

At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we help sellers on and off the island navigate the full selling timeline—from preparing the home to closing day. In this guide, we break down what to expect, how long each step takes, and how to sell faster without sacrificing value.


1. Average Time to Sell a Home in Puerto Rico (2025 Forecast)

In general, you can expect your property to sell in about 30–90 days, depending on a few key factors:

  • Location

  • Condition of the property

  • Pricing strategy

  • Marketing reach

  • Legal readiness

Here’s how that breaks down:

  • Well-prepared homes in high-demand areas (like coastal towns) can sell in as little as 30–45 days.

  • Fixer-uppers, rural properties, or overpriced homes may sit for 90+ days.

With Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, our average listing time is significantly lower because we price smart, market hard, and guide every detail.


2. The Complete Timeline to Sell a House in Puerto Rico

🏑 Step 1: Property Prep & Paperwork (1–2 weeks)

Before you list, we help you:

  • Gather documents (title, CRIM, Registry info)

  • Clean, declutter, and photograph the property

  • Complete any necessary repairs

  • Discuss pricing strategy

πŸ” With our help, we streamline this prep stage so you’re ready to hit the market fast.


πŸ“Έ Step 2: Marketing & Listing Launch (1–3 days)

Once the home is ready:

  • We professionally photograph and film it

  • Create listing descriptions in English & Spanish

  • Publish to MLS, Zillow, Facebook, YouTube & more

  • Launch a custom marketing campaign

🎯 Your listing reaches local and global buyers instantly.


πŸ“… Step 3: Showings & Offers (1–4 weeks)

In 2025, buyers move fast—but they’re also smart. During this stage, you can expect:

  • Buyer inquiries & showings

  • Virtual tours for off-island buyers

  • Questions, feedback, and negotiations

πŸ’¬ We’ll keep you updated in real time and negotiate strategically.


πŸ–‹οΈ Step 4: Under Contract & Due Diligence (2–3 weeks)

Once you accept an offer, we:

  • Coordinate inspections

  • Work with attorneys and notaries

  • Finalize purchase & sale agreements

  • Confirm buyer financing

πŸ” Our team manages every detail to keep things on track.


πŸ—οΈ Step 5: Closing (1 week)

In Puerto Rico, the closing process includes the notary signing, legal transfer, and final payment. For absentee sellers, we handle:

  • Remote closings

  • Courier of legal docs

  • Power of Attorney if needed

πŸ“¦ You don’t have to be on the island—we make it smooth from anywhere.
