Ready to Sell Your Home? Don't Let Winter Stop You!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Acadiana

In the past few weeks, I've talked to several sellers who said that they are waiting to put their home on the market because more homes sell in the spring than in the winter. That is true. However, what most do not consider is that there are also more homes hitting the market in the spring, which means more competition. Home buyers buy homes year round

There are buyers looking to buy year round. In fact, in Lafayette parish, more homes sold in December 2011 than in November or October. Yours could have sold, too, if it had been on the market.

If you are ready to sell, you need to do three things: 1. Price your home right; 2. Get it staged; 3. Work with a Realtor that will properly market your property.

That's it. That's all there is to it.

If you are ready to sell your home, why wait? Give me a call today.

Chantal,

Your words are so true. Sellers might be surprised by the number of buyers who are seriously looking right now to buy. SC

You're absolutely right, Chantal. I had a new listing go up the first week of December, and it sold with multiple offers within a week. While the inspection was being done and the mortgage was getting put together, we continued to have loads of interest. The buyers who are out in December and early January are serious; they're not playing around. Come February, every listing will have a lot more competition. Great post.

SC, you are right, there are plenty of buyers looking right now and some sellers are missing out by waiting for the spring.

Tanya, I closed on 4 of my listings in December. No multiple offers, though. I hope you picked up lots of buyers with that hot listing you had.

Happy New Year to both of you!!
