There are three reasons that you shouldn’t wait until summer to list your home for sale:

1. Less inventory. Less inventory means less competition. There are more buyers in the marketplace with less to choose from.

2. Multiple offers. As a seller, multiple offers result in higher bids and stronger terms on the sale contract.

You can either list now in these conditions or wait until the summer.

3. Higher sale price. With limited inventory, buyers only have a handful of homes to choose from. They don’t have a choice but to pay what it takes to get them the home.

You can either list your home now in these conditions or wait until summer when competition is more fierce and there are many more homes on the market. If you have any questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

There are a few main ways you can add value to your home without spending a lot of money so that when the time comes to sell it, you can do so quickly and for top dollar. 

First, start with the outside. This is where buyers’ first impressions start. Make sure the grass is green and freshly cut and all the planter beds are filled with new mulch. Since all the buyers will be walking through your front door, make sure that front door is clean and the handles are working properly. 

Second, declutter the inside and clear it of any trash or personal belongings. Also, make sure the interior of your home smells good. The last thing you want is a buyer to get turned off by a random odor. 

Third, downscale your interior furniture. You could probably remove 50% of your furniture and personal items and make the house feel much larger. When a buyer walks into your house and sees all of your personal belongings crowding the space, they might assume there’s not enough room to accommodate them. You want to make buyers feel like they’re walking into a model home so they can picture themselves living inside it.

Lastly, market your home aggressively. This is where picking the right agent to work for you is critical. There’s a lot more to the home selling process than just putting your home on the MLS and hoping for the best. You need to market it and prospect it to potential buyers so you can get the most money.

Many people have asked me if now is a good time to sell, or if they should hang onto their homes for a little longer. There are actually a few factors that influence the answer. 

We have a new president, interest rates are going up, the spring market is in full swing, and people are preparing for the summer market. Whether you should sell now or wait depends entirely on your specific situation, so you need to ask yourself a few questions. 

First, what is your goal? Are you currently renting and looking to buy your first home in the next year? Maybe you already have a home but need to accommodate a growing family. Are you looking to downsize? Make sure you know exactly what your end goal is before you sell your current home. 

Second, what is your time frame? Are you trying to sell and move into a new home in the next six months or year, or do you need more time to save up? Make sure your time frame is realistic in relation to your finances and personal circumstances. 

Finally, what is most important to you? If your children are priority No. 1 during this move, consider checking out homes near the best school districts. If you’re an investor and money is your motivator, you want to look at properties that will have the best return. If you’re looking for a quiet life and want to make a switch from the city to the country, make sure you’re aware of what owning a rural property entails. 

If you should sell now or later depends solely on your specific circumstances.

So, should you sell now or later? The answer really depends on you.
