One of the questions a lot of my great clients ask me is - when is the best time to sell your home? There are really two answers to that question.
The fall is the "secret spring market."
If you want top dollar for your home, and the most number of available buyers, the best time to sell your home is in early spring.
This spring market starts as early as January 15th and continues to as late as May 1st each year. Beyond May 1st, the market starts to change a bit and by the end of June, it has noticeably slowed.
The earlier in the spring you can list, the better.
However, in January and February, your yard may not be green yet, and your flowers certainly will not be blooming. There may even be some snow on the ground and it will likely still be cold.
So, if you think there's even a slight chance you may list your home next spring, let's schedule some pictures now while everything is still green and blooming, so we can market your home in its best possible light when the time to list arrives.
Schedule your photos here.
Surprisingly, the second-best time of the year to sell your home is in the fall, between Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
Not many people know about this sweet spot in the market - I like to call it the "Secret Spring Market."
The fall market is a great time to upgrade and move to a larger home, and it's also a good time to sell your current home.
Selling in the fall, you'll get a good price on your existing home, and you're also going to get a killer deal on your new upgrade home.
Right between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, all the kids are back in school, summer vacations are over, and people are starting to refocus on their living situation, making it a great time to make a move.
If you have more specific questions about your house or your neighborhood, what's going on in the market, or the best time to sell (because it does vary a little based on location), give me a call.
