When is the best time to sell a home?

This is a common question from sellers.  In fact, every seller I've ever worked with in Chatham, Short Hills, Madison, Morristown and Summit NJ asks the question:  "When is the best time to put our house on the market?"

Inevitably, my answer is:  "When is the best time for you, Mr. and Mrs. Seller?"  To which I often get a puzzled look ... let me explain.

There are always buyers. Yes, really.

In fact at any given time there is a small group of motivated, ready and willing buyers for nearly every possible home. 

Just think back to when you might have been looking for your home ... you had decided it was time, perhaps you had your current home sold, perhaps you had a job transfer, perhaps you were simply ready to downsize or upgrade, whatever your reason, you were a ready, willing and motivated buyer.  When the right home came on the market you would know it and you would jump on it.  You had looked at the inventory and for one reason or another, nothing was the right fit.  Then a new listing came on and it met all your criteria and it looked like a good value for the money.  You jumped on it.

It could have been Christmas Eve or in the middle of a blizzard or heat wave.  Maybe it was Thanksgiving weekend.  Maybe it was Spring or maybe it was not.

You liked the home, it met your needs and the price was right.  You made an offer and the rest is history. 

Are there more home buyers in the Spring?  It depends on your location.  Here in the Chatham, Short Hills, Madison, Morristown and Summit NJ areas, typically Spring is considered the best time (April thru early June) to sell a home.  There also was a second peak market in September and October. 

We've seen that change or shift over the last few years in the real estate market of Chatham, Short Hills, Madison, Morristown and Summit NJ area.  The "Spring" home selling season now seems to begin in January.  We've seen very strong activity in August - which is usually the quietest month of all. 

Did I say it depends?

As we head into the Winter Holiday Season, many sellers whose homes have not sold are taking their homes off the market with plans to relist in the "Spring".  That translates into less inventory and competition for the homes that are for sale during the Holidays.  And, yes, there are fewer buyers.  And yes, those buyers are looking because they HAVE to or truly WANT to move, they are not tire-kickers.  And yes, in addition to more competition in the Spring, you also have more "tire-kicking" going on in real estate.

Bottom line: "When is the best time for you Mr and Mrs Seller"? 

and I can sell your home in any season for the best price the market will bear.  I have 25 years of proven successful experience to back it up.

Home Sold in Short Hills NJ

Trish Giassa and Keller Williams Realty are proud to announce the sale of another extraordinary Short Hills home! 

Several months ago a valued client contacted me because her best friend was thinking to move from New York to New Jersey.  When I met Heather's childhood friend I found an intelligent young wife and mother who wanted more than anything to make a new home for her family in a place where they would all feel comfortable and at home growing up, going to school, making new friends and settling in.

We started with statistical and background data.  School ratings and demographic information.  Then I made appointments for her to talk with or meet other parents and school administrators.  We took tours and reviewed listings.  Then when we had narrowed it down to two towns, we looked at homes that met their needs.  Then, Heather's best friend decided Short Hills was the place for her and her family.   They loved the vibe of the town, the friendliness of people they met, the Millburn Deli, and most of all the extraordinary tree-lined streets and gracious homes.  That's when we found their home.

At first, it was hard to tell what the house would look like.  There were walls but the floors, woodwork, kitchen and baths were yet to be done.  The builder was fantastic!  Patiently and with thorough knowledge and confidence, he reviewed what was planned and what the home would look like.  He was easy to work with, very accomodating and helpful every step of the way!

The end product is a truly extraordinary home.  The attention to detail, comfortable, sensible floor plan, the quality of the workmanship and materials all came together beautifully in a lovely home for this family. 

They have moved in and when I visited this morning I was greeted by a beaming face.  The kids are happy - in school and in their neighborhood.  The house is not quite completely unpacked and furnished but already it feels like their home.  I feel honored to have helped and guided this family to their new home and community and I wish them years of happy memories in their new home in Short Hills.

Located in the Hartshorn School Section of Short Hills, this 6 bedroom home is within a short walk of the Hartshorn Elementary School and a short ride away from the train station for the Midtown Direct to New York, the Mall at Short Hills and downtown Millburn as well as downtown Summit.

Are you looking for a home in the Short Hills NJ area?  Allow me to help you find the home of your dreams.
