Detached properties took an average of 41 days, while retirement and sheltered accommodation recorded the longest period at 98 days, followed by park and mobile homes at 96 days.
Flats and apartments have also taken longer to sell over the past year, with the average period before an offer is agreed increasing by 34% from 29 to 39 days.
For one-bedroom and studio properties, the average increased by 31% from 32 to 42 days.
Riccardo Iannucci-Dawson, CEO of Alto, said: “We sit on one of the UK’s biggest property datasets, and one number stood out: homes in Glasgow are typically agreed in just 11 days – the fastest anywhere in the country.
“The housing market is always fluctuating, and price points, stock levels, improving transport links, and chains all play a part – but what we’re consistently seeing in Glasgow this year is agents who know their patch inside out and price a home right from day one.
“Where a home is priced for what local buyers will actually pay, it moves; and where it’s priced for what the seller hoped for 18 months ago, it sits with flats being the clearest example of what happens when that slips.
“Wherever you’re selling, the first fortnight on the market is the part that counts, so get the asking price right on day one rather than discounting your way there over three months.”
Mark Adams, managing partner of G&S Properties in Glasgow, added: “In my opinion, the Glasgow market is strong due to a chronic undersupply of property at accessible price points and a surge in demand for both urban and rural living.
“If you are looking to sell, you should find a reputable, independent estate agent who will advise on setting an accurate, competitive asking price.
“They should guide you on presenting the property well with professional photography, including drone photography and video, to boost kerb appeal, increase viewings and negotiate a premium sale.”
