FOR SALE SIGN by Cafe Realty
Should I list my home now or do I wait until next spring? When is the best time to list my home? These are questions that are commonly asked by homeowners of their Realtor.
When preparing to sell your home the best time is when you are ready mentally, financially and physically. The market is cyclical and there are always buyers out there regardless of the season. Timing is everything and spring is where the most activity takes place however due to low inventory and high buyer demand the fall/winter is also a great time to sell.
Let’s talk about preparing mentally. Once a homeowner decides that they are ready to sell due to change in lifestyle (downsizing, upgrading) the most difficult decision is at hand. Congratulations you made the decision to make a transition! The mindset of a homeowner turns into the mindset of a seller, what was once a home is now a house. Preparations can now begin to get the house in prime condition for maximum market value.
And now for preparing financially. Always consult with your financial planner and accountant for how your sale will impact your financial landscape. This conversation allows for you to move forward without the guesswork of how the sale will affect your taxes, savings and future.
Lastly, the physical move, often a time of stress, worry and uncertainty. Your Realtor is your guide for a smooth, stress-free experience and if you listen carefully and heed their knowledge, vast wisdom and strategy your transition becomes a delightful experience.
