Not "Waiting Till Spring" to
Sell
Should I Wait Until Spring to Sell My Home?
There is a seasonal aspect to the residential real estate
market. Spring is usually the period of most intense sales activity.
However, because of the laws of supply and demand, the time
with the lowest inventory – winter – could lend a magnificent
opportunity for innovative selling.
The lower the inventory, the lesser the competition from sellers
and the greater the competition among buyers. The potential
result? You sell quicker and at a higher price.
This holiday season presents a unique opportunity for innovative
sellers. Two reasons:
- Consistent increases in interest rates may keep buyers looking
for their new home through the holidays
- With “traditional” sellers taking their homes off the market
during this period, innovative sellers increase their chances
of selling quicker and at a higher price.
One primary reason sellers avoid marketing their homes during
the holidays is inconvenience. Your real estate agent will help
address your concerns and work out showing and closing arrangements
that least disrupt your holidays.
