If you’re planning to sell your home this spring, why wait? Even though we’re in the midst of the holiday season, it’s still a great time for sellers to list a home. In fact, there are five good reasons to sell in fall or winter before spring arrives:
- There’s less inventory. Less inventory on the market means less competition. Your home will immediately be able to stand out among the rest.
- Many people are relocating. During the first quarter, corporations are often moving employees around during the holiday season so they’re settled for the new year. This means there are lots of people looking for homes at this time. Also, because there’s so much going on during the holidays, buyers who are looking for homes are more motivated to find and make a purchase.
- There’s no landscaping to worry about. The trees and grass are dormant, but nobody expects otherwise. You won’t need to spend the same time and energy on your landscape as you would in the spring.
- Home sales see a spike in Austin. In this quarter of the year, our area sees many more homes being sold. This is a great time to take advantage of Austin’s market by selling.
- You can negotiate a higher price. With less inventory and more motivated buyers, you can take the opportunity to sell your home for top dollar.
