Don’t wait until April or Spring to sell your home. It is one of the most over rated pieces of advice you can receive from anywhere.

I hear all over from other real estate agents, friends, family that spring is the normal and reliable time to list your home.

And yes it feels SAFE and the norm when everyone else is listing as well. But when you list Outside of β€œPeak Season” there are fewer homes, especially right now in this market, this year. Right now the buyers are serious and motivated to get into a home. That works perfect for the seller if their home is – Prepared/Priced – with intention to Sell. Waiting for Spring will not fix if you are trying to overprice your home or just slap it on the market.

It won’t help with a cluttered non ready home for pictures and will not suddenly create a qualified bidding war among buyers. What does happen in Spring is more competition, more home listings, more noise with listing agents, and more pressure and harder to stand out in the crowded market. If you are looking to list your home – Preparation and Pricing right are going to be the Key to really selling your home.

The Calendar will actually help you sell your home and timing is everything. I believe listing when the market pool is low in listing will help you stand out in the Market. So this is the time to list, and you are ready to either list or prep your home to list. Call ME let’s get your home listed, or ready to list. I can walk you through the steps and handle all the logistics of getting your home ready to actually sell. I will be happy to talk and walk you through the strategy and timing that makes sense to you.
