Why the Timeline Matters

Whether you’re holding raw acreage or a prime building lot, knowing how long it might take to sell is a smart first step. But here’s the thing…the average and the median tell very different stories.

• Average Days on Market (DOM): This is the total number of days all sold properties sat on the market, divided by how many were sold. It’s useful, but it can get skewed by outliers.
• Median DOM: This is the middle number in the dataset. Half the properties sold faster than this number, and half took longer. It gives a better picture of what’s typical.

Land Sales in Lewisburg: What to Expect

In the past year:

• Average time on market for land in Lewisburg: 339 days
• Median time on market: 137 days

That means while the typical land sale happens in about 4–5 months, some listings take much longer…a year or more.

Here’s why that happens:

• Higher price points: Lewisburg had several high-priced parcels that took longer to move, pushing up the average.
• Niche buyers: Land isn’t a one-size-fits-all product. Buyers are often looking for very specific features…views, access, water, or building potential.
• Market dynamics: Some sellers list and wait for top dollar. Others price to sell quickly.

How Long Does It Take to Sell Land in Lewisburg, WV?

Let’s take a look at land sales across Greenbrier County overall:

• Average DOM: 244 days
• Median DOM: 132 days

So, Lewisburg land listings take longer on average, by almost 100 days, but the median is very close (just 5 days more). That suggests that:

• Most Lewisburg land sells on pace with the broader county.
• A few outliers (often higher-end or specialty properties) are sitting longer and skewing the average.

If you’re comparing listings in Rainelle, Alderson, Renick, or rural areas outside of town, the sales might move faster or slower depending on accessibility, price, and how the land is marketed.

What Sells Faster and What Doesn’t

Lots that sold within 30 days had the highest list-to-sale price ratio. Meaning they were priced well and appealed to ready buyers.

Parcels on the market for 120+ days sold for a lower percentage of their list price. Some saw price drops of 20% or more before they finally sold.

In Lewisburg, we often see buyers searching for:

• Walkable proximity to downtown (yes, even for land)
• Utilities access (city water/sewer vs. well/septic)
• Build-ready lots with cleared areas and driveways in place

On the flip side, land that’s steep, heavily wooded, or lacking access tends to take longer…unless it’s priced accordingly.
