  I deleted my domain because WordPress would not allow me to transfer it, through the transfer process. Now its not available at all anywhere. How long do I have to wait for it to be available again in the market?

  There is no definitive timeline for when a canceled/expired domain may be released to register again, nor any guarantee that it will be available again (another party can reserve a domain and prevent it from ever going back on the market). Here is more information on the stages that domains go through when they are canceled/expired, in case it is helpful: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#stages-of-domain-expiration
