The #1 Reason to Not Wait Until Spring to Sell Your House by Steve Wadkins

Many sellers believe that spring is the best time to place their homes on the market because buyer demand traditionally increases at that time of year, but what they don’t realize is that if every homeowner believes the same thing, then that is when they will have the most competition!

The #1 Reason to List Your Home in the Winter Months is Less Competition!

Housing supply traditionally shrinks at this time of year, so the choices buyers have will be limited. The chart below was created using the months’ supply of listings from the National Association of Realtors.

As you can see, the ‘sweet spot’ to list your home for the most exposure naturally occurs in the late fall and winter months (November – February).

Temperatures aren’t the only thing that heats up in the spring – so do listings!

In 2017, listings increased by nearly half a million houses from December to June. Don’t wait for these listings to come to market before you decide to list your house.

Added Bonus: Only Serious Buyers Are Out in the Winter

At this time of year, only those purchasers who are serious about buying a home will be in the marketplace. You and your family will not be bothered and inconvenienced by mere ‘lookers.’ The lookers are at the mall or online doing their holiday shopping.

Bottom Line

If you have been debating whether or not to sell your house and are curious about market conditions in your area, let’s get together to help you decide the best time to list your house for sale. 702-281-8288

Sellers not to be concerned. This is the time to keep your properties in Show ready condition at all times. If you need paint, carpet, fresh up on landscaping or to remove an odor now is the time to take care of it. Call us and we will help you navigate through this process so you’re not breaking the bank to get it sold.

Buyers have more homes to choose from and will pick the one with the least amount of problems and that is in great condition.

Is November, December, January a good time to sell? I get this question every day, every time around this time of year. Great question. We see sellers waiting until the first of the year, that means less competition during the holidays and will increase after the first of the year.

Have any question regarding selling or on the fence, now is the time to call me and talk about what is happening in your area and how many days on the market to expect.

Pondering about Buying call us we will help you understand what loan programs are out there to help.

Have a great week
