This time of year, it's commonplace for clients to ask, "Should I wait for spring to sell my home?" Often, clients want to wait because they believe there are more buyers in the spring.

While this remains true, there are also more sellers. There's more competition! Because sellers wait to list in the spring, inventory increases.

 

Additionally, more buyers does not mean better buyers. Winter buyers are more motivated and serious, which makes for easier negotiations. They need to close as quickly as possible.

Lastly, homes sell successfully during the winter. In fact, the slowest times of year are actually around the Fourth of July and between Thanksgiving and Christmas. People are busy with the holidays, so we thus experience fewer sales.

Therefore, winter is a great time to sell your home. Sit down with your Realtor today to see what's happening in your neighborhood so you know what to expect when you list your home!
