5 Reasons Why Fall is a Good Time to List Your Home
If you were able to get out and tour the Triangle Parade homes you may be thinking its time to upgrade your home. You may also be wondering if Fall is a good time to sell and I can answer that question for you - the answer is YES! We still have extremely low inventory and buyers wanting to take advantage of these record low interest rates. However if you need even more motivation/reason to list your home this fall, here are five more reasons to put your home on the market.
Low Inventory. Typically spring and summer are high season for listing family homes, as people want to move over the summer before the new school year starts, so listings usually decrease in the fall, which means less competition and higher sales prices. However, this year is different, with the extremely low inventory and the record low mortgage rates, buyers are able to afford more house and make more competitive offers.
Great Weather for Buyers. When the heat of the summer is gone and cool crisp days return, people just want to be out and about more! That may be especially true this year, as we have all spent more time at home during COVID. With precautions put into place, buyers can safely visit your home this fall.
Fall Enhances Curb Appeal. Spend the summer taking care of any external repairs that need finishing, then you can celebrate fall by planting some fresh flowers, staging you or front porch with potted mums, pumpkins, and a fall wreath, and carry the theme inside with fall scented candles.
Buyers are Serious. Fall and winter buyers tend to be more serious. They may need to move by the end of the year, or they want to get settled before the holiday season. The demographics of buyers may shift towards younger professionals, first-time home buyers, empty nesters, and retired people, who have more flexibility over when they move than people with schoolchildren and are therefore more likely to be serious when they do go looking.
There is no better time than now to list your home and you could potentially be in your next home before the holidays.
