The Winter Market

December 7, 2011

    We are often asked whether or not you should list your home in the winter time or whether you should wait until spring.  While the answer to this question will be affected by your personal situation, in general, the spring market is the hottest market of the year.   That being said, the spring market also offers the greatest amount of competition for your home.  During the winter months, less buyers are out looking for a home but with the internet being a tool that most buyers are using in their house hunt, buyers are always keeping an eye on the market waiting for new homes to show up.  Over the holidays the market will usually die right down and January can be quite slow.  Once February comes around and we get a couple days of nice weather, buyers start to get excited to see homes and this time can be great to be on the market.  As a seller you will have less competition and can get your home sold before the flood of new listings arrive in March and April. 

    Call today to discuss your particular situation and come up with a plan to get your home sold.
