Upon meeting with clients, one of the many reoccurring questions realtors come across is “When is it the right time to put our home on the market?” I would say in this hot market – any time is
good as any!
There used to be a time where seasons played a role, but some of the busiest months that we can attest to have been the winter months. Why? Here is the bottom line.
– Spring is when most homeowners tend to put their homes up for sale, causing you to potentially put yourself in a bidding war scenario in this type of market. The winter exposes serious buyers – those who are looking, willing and ready
– Buyers in the winter need to move. So it is most likely they will not make a lowball offer and they will often want to close quickly or just right around spring.
Additional notes for buyers, consider these steps before proceeding with one the biggest purchases of your life:
