Katy Texas

Hi everyone.  The most wonderful time of the year is almost here.  No not the Holidays, Second Selling Season of course.  The perfect season for procrastinators or anyone who needs to sell their home now. 

 

The Second Selling Season may be one of the best times of the year to sell your home.  Everyone knows that the highest volume of homes sale in the summer.  This is almost always true.  However you may not know that the period of October – December is probably the Second Best Selling Season. 

 

Homes move briskly these months as

 

 

  • Homebuyers push to be in their new home in time to receive the tax credit
  • Companies position personnel for the new year
  • Families strive to celebrate holidays in their new home

 

 

I have always told my clients I sell more homes during the summer.  However, I sell a higher percentage of my listing during their winter months.  Honestly, there are fewer homes on the market; so each listing has less competition.  This is a powerful reason to sell you home.  The statistics support this as well.

 

As mentioned earlier the numbers are better in the summer.  However, the numbers from last winter support my statements that the Second Selling Season is very solid.  For this study I used a major neighborhood, Cinco Ranch. 

 

June – July - 2010

  • Homes sold in an average of 54 Days
  • Homes sold at 96% of list price

Over 107 Homes sold Per Month

 

Oct – Dec - 2010

  • Homes sold in an average of 78 Days
  • Homes sold at 95% of list price
  • Over 70 Homes sold Per Month

 

As you can see, the key number, percentage of listing price is very favorable.  The Day on the Market for homes was also very good.  So, if you missed the Summer Selling Season you did miss the best time to sell your home.  Still, you are not out of luck.  The Second Selling Season is almost here.

 

If you would like to try to get your home sold now, please give us a call.  We would be happy to show you how wonderful the Second Selling Season can be.

 

We want to sell your Ho-Ho-Home for the Holidays.
