Many people have heard that it’s best to 'wait until spring’ to sell your house. However, we say, ‘Spring starts in January!’ Below are four reasons you may not want to wait until later in the year:
- Serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from over the winter months. With many people thinking that waiting until spring is the best option, you can list your house
now with less competition, which means more buyer activity and more money in your pocket. The supply of homes will start increasing in the next few months. More homes on the market mean more competition and potentially less money for you! - People looking at homes now are serious buyers. It's cold out so those who are looking are typically ready to buy a home quickly that matches their needs.
- Interest rates could rise further, causing some buyers to lose buying power. It's important to think of the true cost of buying a home for a buyer when you sell your property.
- By selling now, you have the opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer just as more homes are coming on the market. As inventory increases, you'll have more to choose from and be ready to put forward a competitive offer.
We'd love to talk with you about what your home might be worth and whether it would make sense for you to sell now!
