It's that time of year again in good ole Minnesota. The snow is about to fly, the holidays are right around the corner, and the yearly 'How to get listings in winter' seminar is coming up. It's a topic that has been up for debate in my office over the last couple of weeks. Is it really a good time for sellers to sell?
The owners of the company have sent out a list of reasons why now is a great time to sell. They point the lack of inventory due to people coming off of the market. 'Buyer's looking now are really serious.' The list
goes on and on. But when we look at the statistics, don't they tell us otherwise? In the statistics we receive from the Minnesota Association on Realtors, it shows that the 2 month period of November and December are the slowest two month period of the year. Every year!
So is this a disservice to our potential clients or is there any validity to the idea that now is the time? I believe the numbers don't lie. This is a time when people are settling down and preparing for time with family. You want to go on the market in January, that's just fine. The numbers do improve.
