Wondering what time of year is the best to sell a home? Hereโs Why You Should Sell Your Home in the Winter
It is common for people to think that the best time to sell is in the spring, and sure, homes look great when theย flowers are blooming and the weather is a bit nicer, but there are some really great reasons that selling in the winter might be ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ and more importantly, can get your ย home sold ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ!
Many sellers think that spring is the best time to put their homes on the market, because there are usually more buyers out at that time of year, and their gardens are starting to bloom.
What they donโt often consider is that every other homeowner is thinking the exact same thing, which means theyโll have the most competition.
The number one reason to list your home in the winter is that there is less competition. Inventory is usually at its lowest point in the wintertime, so the options buyers have are very limited. The sweet spot for listing your home to get the most amount of money and exposure happens at the start of the new year. When spring rolls around and the temperatures rise, so do the number of listings. Donโt wait for all of the competition to show up before you decide to put your home on the market.
There is an added bonus to selling during the winter: the buyers who are out looking in our cold, dark, wet weather, tend to be very serious and engaged. You will be less likely to be inconvenienced by those people who are casually looking, or just wanting to get decorating ideas for their own homes. You might be surprised at how often that happens. So during the winter months the lookie-loos are typically staying at home, and are just looking online.
