With market shifts most certainly on the horizon, homeowners who’ve thought about selling might want to look at sooner rather than later. Here are a few solid reasons why:
It’s Still a Seller’s Market
That means that low inventory is a leverageable opportunity for sellers who want to get the most from their home and sell in the least amount of time. Priced exactly right, and we even see bidding wars which can garner a seller an even higher price point. The key here is to price is at market value, and put a powerful marketing plan in place immediately which creates the maximum amount of exposure to the home’s listing in the first seven days. That’s where the magic is!

Tax Incentives

An Eye on the Holidays
Selling in early fall gives you time to close on your home and be tucked into your new home before the holidays. It also means that you’re not trying to show your home during busy end of the year schedules, holiday parties, and celebrations.
Safety Stress
Did you know that according to SafeWise.com, there are peak seasons for burglaries? Summertime is the hands-down season for vulnerability according to safety experts. There’s also a spike during the Christmas holiday season.
