New Year's Resolutions & the Time to Sell



Perhaps you're like me--in the midst of a cleaning and organizing frenzy sparked by New Year's resolutions. And perhaps all this cleaning and organizing has you pondering like  Mr. X. Istential: "When is a good time to sell your home?" See what the Home Diva has to say about that…

Dear X. Istential,

The best time to put your home on the market is whenever you are ready to sell. The best recipe for success is a committed and motivated seller paired with a knowledgeable and full-service professional realtor.

Having said that, now is a great time to get your home listed. Inventory is low and buyers are buying. You would think the holidays would have cooled the market, but the buyers who are out there are motivated to buy and your he best time to put your home on the market is whenever you are ready to sell. The best recipe for success is a committed and motivated seller paired with a knowledgeable and full-service professional realtor.

Having said that, now is a great time to get your home listed. Inventory is low and buyers are buying. You would think the holidays would have cooled the market, but the buyers who are out there are motivated to buy, and your home may be their dream home.

If you can get your home ready for sale as part of your New Year's resolution, you'll have less competition because you'll be ahead of the traditional spike in listings that often occur in the spring and pre-summer months.

Sincerely,
The Home Diva
