Ranges can be anywhere from 2 hours in some hot parts of DC to 90 days or more.

The next step would be to work with the Realtor and determine the hot markets, in your County, with the greatest number of sales over the last 90 to 120 days.

If the market weren't so hot up here I'd be more inclined to give Chelsea a shot, but I think given how expensive properties are up here on a valuation basis (super low cap rates) I don't know how much I want to speculate on appreciation in Chelsea.

I wouldn't sell your house in Somerville, it is just going to increase in value, that area is hot.

Quick Tip: Kettering seems to be a hot spot for buy and hold investors - definitely a working class area.Cary

Also look at HOT Pads and compare with all of the other rentals on the market in your neighborhood. 

The market is very hot, like many places, but it is still a great market to invest in.

@Danny Aguirre I like in the area and the market is crazy hot.

Our clients will install a hot tub with attractive lighting and so forth.Another consideration is the leasing contract.

If you truly value your time, then just say "not interested, take me off your list" and hang up.This is a sign of a hot real estate market.
