Winter is Coming, Should You Sell Your Home?
When considering your options about selling your home you may be waiting for the spring before you put your property on the market. Is that a good decision? Lets talk about it.
- In the winter months there are often fewer properties on the market and because there are fewer homes on the market, the seller is sometimes rewarded with a great price and a home sold in record timing.
- Peoples circumstances change 365 days a year, not just in the Spring and Summer and because of that, there are a constant stream of buyers the whole year through, so you do not have to wait for the Spring to sell your home
- If your home is not on the market it cannot get sold.
- Maybe you don't want to have your property on the market during the holidays because of family and friends visiting. If that is the case, you could always tell your agent to exclude particular holiday dates to suit you.
- People shopping in the winter are generally more serious buyers
The right time to sell the property is ultimately up to you. When is it the right time for you?
- If the home has been on the market for a while, maybe it would be a good time to withdraw the home from the market from Thanksgiving and through the Christmas Season until early in January and put it on the market again with a new marketing plan.
- If your home shows better in the warmer months, perhaps chat to your agent - the agent may suggest a little staging and lighting to suit the winter season and that could change your mind.
