Don’t Wait Until Spring to Sell Your Home!

This time of year, I am always asked by sellers if they should list their home in the fall or wait until spring time. What I can tell you is that serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from during the holidays and less competition means more money for you as a result of unmotivated sellers who remove their home from the market. Secondly, since the amount of listings dramatically increase in January-March, there will be less demand for your particular home because there are more homes on the market. Thirdly, people typically trying to close on a house before the end of the year for tax purposes.

Also this time of the year, people don’t want to be bothered during the Christmas week and New Year’s. We can restrict showings during those weeks to allow time to spend with your family, which is very important in my home. Traditionally during the holiday season, employers are moving their employees around for job transfers and when the first of the year comes around, these people need homes. If your home is on the market, chances are these people will see your house. You also have the opportunity to become a non-contingent buyer when spring comes around, allowing you to find the perfect home without having to worry about selling yours.
