Should I Put My Home on the Market Now, or Wait Until Spring?

Should I Put My Home on the Market Now, or Wait Until Spring?

The last few years have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride in the real estate industry, so I can understand why people ask this question so often. They want to get the most money out of their investment and don't want to sit on the market any longer than they have to. So, when confronted with the idea of moving in the Fall or Winter, some wonder if they should sit out and wait until the "hot" season in real estate, Spring.

What I tell clients and customers is this: sell your home when you need to, period. Don't worry about what month it is. If you do everything right from hiring a real estate agent you are confident in to selecting a price range according to the market and not your emotions, you will be just fine in ANY season.

In addition, I personally believe a home can be a stand out in the Fall or Winter months! Tasteful decorations and warm scents can make a buyer feel instantly at home. A roaring fire in the fireplace may actually encourage a potential buyer to linger just a little longer in your home to take shelter from the cold. See where I am going?!

People buy a home when they need to buy a home; a work related transfer often doesn't wait until a specific time of year and I don't believe sellers should wait either.
