Lately, I have had a lot of people ask me whether they should list their home now or wait until spring. Now is actually an optimal time to sell your home and here's four reasons why.
- Inventory is down - There are fewer homes on the market which means buyers have less options. Your home is now in higher demand and that means a better price for you.
- More competition in the spring - Most people are waiting until the spring to list their home. More competition means your home may not sell as fast or for as great of a price.
- Buyers are serious - While there are fewer buyers on the market, those that are looking and taking the time out of their holiday celebrations are ready to commit.
- You can negotiate a later closing date - If you are worried that you will have to move during the holidays, it's always possible to arrange the closing date after the holidays.
