Winter is a Good Time to Sell!
Baby, it’s cold outside! But that doesn’t mean it’s time to hibernate until Spring! At least not for buyers and sellers! Why is that?
Historically December and January see fewer homes on the market. This creates a unique opportunity for those that stay on the market. For instance, in the summer market there may be ten homes that are direct competition to your home. But during this time of year you may only have three! This certainly makes your home stand out! Especially if your home is ready to go!
Also, many companies will transition employees to new positions around the first of the year. These employees have just been informed of this need to relocate. This can be a huge opportunity as Minnesota has a strong relocation market due to many industries here.
Most importantly, there are still many buyers out there looking for their next home! And don’t forget that homes that have been decorated for the season are very warm and inviting and can present very well.
So even in the midst of holiday plans, now is still a great time give us a call to assess your selling goals. If you still want to hold off the selling for a few months, we can still help you plan ahead. We can see where you are in this process, recommend pricing, and help you determine what projects may make sense to do in preparation of a sale, what NOT to do (i.e the ones buyers won’t care about).
