What? Sell my home during the winter? Why would I do that? Well, that is what most people think and that is what you are going to use to your advantage. Ok, I see that look of doubt on your face. But don't worry I am going to explain myself. Below I am going to go over why the winter is the best time to sell your home. Keep reading . . .
The Top 5 Reasons To Sell Your Home During The Winter
1. Because it is getting close to the end of the year which means lower borrowing costs give buyers incentive.
2. Less competition! Who doesn't want less competition? Take advantage of this and you may very well be the only home for sale in your entire neighborhood or at least one of the few. It is very frustrating for home buyers who are ready to buy a home now but cannot find anything that fits their needs. Your house may be their dream home, so give them what they want and you can almost name your price. Your buyer will be so excited that they were even able to find a suitable home this time of year!
3. Less competition means you may not have to put as much money into your home in order to sell it. So talk to your realtor before you go running to the hardware store to make improvements that may not be necessary due to the lack of competition.
4. You may be worried that your holiday plans will interfere with selling your home. Nope! That's not an excuse. All you have to do is to ask your realtor to make a change in your showing procedures that will require advance notice for all showings. Who knows, maybe your buyer will schedule a showing during your holiday meal and you can invite them to join you. Wow, what a way to help them feel right at home and that is a definite sale! You could not ask for a better gift than the sale of your home.
5. Due to the growing number of foreclosure inventory out there, a buyer will be very refreshed to see a move in ready home. Additionally, many home sellers that are being forced to move but have not gone into pre-foreclosure yet, generally cannot afford to fix their home to the standards that it may need to be market ready. So this will make your home that much more appealing .
Ok, so have I made my point? Are you still making that face? I didn't think so! The winter is a perfect time to sell your home for so many reasons. Your realtor will be able to help you through the entire process as flawlessly as possible. So pick up the phone and call now, use their many years of professional experience to make this process as flawless as possible and the next thing you know you will be relaxing in your new home.
