In our 2022 real estate market, it’s quite likely that you can sell your home for far more than you expected. Did you know that listing your home in the spring can increase these chances even more?
Here are some of the reasons why:
Spring WEATHER is ideal for open houses and showings. People are much more likely to show up at an open house on a nice day! They also tend to be more motivated in general when the weather is nice, and are more likely to schedule appointments to look at houses.
CURB APPEAL is at its peak. Even if you have minimal landscaping, it always helps to see a green yard and some flowers in bloom. Curb appeal can make a HUGE difference in the eyes of buyers!
Selling in the spring typically means a SUMMER move-in date, and this is certainly an ideal time. Days are longer, the weather is nice, and if you have kids it is less disruptive time to move rather than during a busy school year.
TAX REFUNDS are issued in the spring. Therefore, some people have some extra money in their pockets and this can make a big difference with a down payment on a new home!
Spring is a great time for HOME IMPROVEMENTS as you are getting ready to sell. You may want to repaint the fence or power wash the sidewalk. No one wants to do these things in the winter or even in the late summer when it’s super humid!
Homes typically sell FASTER in the spring, as people are anxious to be settled in by the end of the summer. This is especially true for families as they have school-age children to consider when relocating.
There are lots of EAGER BUYERS in the spring because more people are selling. Remember that more buyers equals more demand, which allows you to get top dollar for your home!
