Do you want to list your home and are unsure whether winter is the right time? Let me show you why winter may be the BEST time to list your home.
1. Fewer Showings
No one likes to be outside in the winter when it is cold. As a result, the buyers who are looking during the coldest months of the year are usually very serious about making a purchase.
2. Less Competition
A lot of people wait until Spring and Summer to list their homes. This means that during the winter, as a seller, you will have less competition than any other time of year.
3. January is the Biggest Transfer Month
More corporate moves happen during January than at any other time of the year. This alone is a great reason why you should list your home for sale in the winter!
4. Timing
If you are like me, you are always looking to cross items off of that ever growing “to do” list. Start the year off strong and check off your moving goal early!
5. More Time to Get Top Dollar
You can often secure a higher price by starting to market your home early!
6. More Advertising
Your home may be advertised more often than during the Spring and Summer months. This is due to the fact that most agents and offices have less inventory during the winter.
7. More Attention
Also due to the fact that many agents have fewer clients to manage, they often are able to devote more specialized attention to your needs during the winter.
8. The Current Market
Buyers have more spending power right now due to very low interest rates. This higher spending power will also be important when you begin shopping for your next home!
