The Best Time to Put Your Home on The Market | Burnett Real Estate Team

April 20, 2018 By Burnett Real Estate Team Leave a Comment

Having your home languishing on the market for months can take a toll on both your emotional well-being and your eventual sale price. It is, therefore, important to think rationally and plan carefully before listing your property; this will significantly determine how quickly your house sells. Before putting up that “for sale” sign, you will want to lay a strategy for the best time to sell.

Sell in the Spring

Although you are at liberty to sell your home any time you deem fit in the year, it’s quite apparent that spring is the most popular time for selling property. Spring is the time when most buyers are looking after receiving their tax refunds. Thus, they’re in a better position to afford the down payment, as well as the other costs associated with home buying. Besides, the days are longer during spring, which implies that you will have more time to display your house to potential buyers.

Sell When Your Home is in Good Condition

Before embarking on selling your house, you will need ample time to do some deep cleaning and clear away clutter. You might also want to do some work in your yard and only sell your home after completing these essential tasks. Simply put, the most appropriate time to sell your home is when it’s in its finest possible condition.

Also, if you have a certain feature on your property that accentuates it at a specific times of year, you should take this into account before listing your home. If, for instance, you have a beautiful swimming pool that appears dazzling in summer or a gigantic oak tree whose appeal is more evident in autumn, you will want to sell your home at a time when these features are at their best. This is especially true if you intend to hold open houses to advertise your home.

Steer Clear of the Summer Months and Holiday Seasons

If you are looking to sell your home quickly and at your anticipated asking price, you need to list it at a time when buyers are willing to pay. Unfortunately, most folks go on vacation during the summer months, meaning that few of them will be ready to spend on a house. This is not the most appropriate time to list your property for sale. It is also highly improbable that people will be browsing for new properties during the hectic holiday season. Therefore, it follows that your house might stay listed for longer, thus making it unappealing to potential buyers.

Moreover, consider listing your home only when the weather is favorable. Rain and freezing temperatures can deter potential home buyers from going out to look for property. Conversely, sunshine can easily get people in a good mood. A clear sky can significantly improve the visual appeal of your property, creating more positive reactions to your home.

There are numerous decisions to be made when it comes to marketing your home. In addition to other critical factors, like choosing a real estate agent and determining the listing price, you should also determine the most appropriate time of the year to sell your home. Although this might appear like a minor factor, listing your property at the right time can either make or break a sale. Hiring a real estate agent is critical to selling your home swiftly and successfully. Contact the Burnett Real Estate Team to have your home placed on the market at the right time. Your agent will be in an ideal position to discover facts about the current market condition, which will allow them to estimate an accurate listing price.
