When Is the Best Time to Sell for Top Dollar?

-


Whenever someone wants to know the best time to sell, I go through an evaluation with them. Typically, warmer temperatures bring the buyers out, so spring and summer are when we see the highest number of competing offers and home sales. But that doesn't necessarily always mean that's the best time for you to sell.

Your house may vary. There are some neighborhoods where it's always a good time to sell. Conversely, there are times that have a better chance of selling for more when there's less competition from other homes, so winter might be better. Also, there are better times of the month to consider. You may want to avoid holidays. On the other hand, holidays can be good for homes in particular areas!

If you're not sure how your home stacks up to the competition, you should go to open houses in your neighborhood. But most importantly, you should get my input about factors involved in the timing of your sale, and what you can do to your home to sell it for top dollar. Call or text me for an onsite pre-sale assessment.

I am here to Guide, Lead and Protect you and the people you care about who deserve the very best advice.

If so, here’s some good news – based on what Ali Wolf, Chief Economist at   Zonda , has to   say   – smaller, more affordable homes are on the way: “Buyers should expect that over the next 12 to 24 months  there will be a notable increase in the number of entry-level homes available .” In some ways,  smaller homes  are already here. When the pandemic hit, the meaning of home changed. People needed the space their home provided not only as a place to live, but as a place to work, go to school, exercise, and more. Those who had that space were more likely to keep it. And those that didn’t were in a position where they were trying to sell their smaller house to move up to a larger one. That meant the homes coming to the market during the pandemic were smaller than those on the market before the pandemic – and that trend continues today ( see graph below ): This graph also  s
