Home sellers who have been waiting to sell their homes may want to think quickly about waiting for the summer months!
We’ve seen business steadily increase this fall, with December being one of our busiest months ever. Sounds crazy? I’m projecting that January and February will be booming as well – which certainly isn’t normal for the real estate market in Oregon.
Check out this great article from Forbes magazine. It states “This year, because of government incentives such as the first-time homebuyer tax credit, demand for homes will rise earlier in the year, creating opportunities for sellers . . .”
We’re seeing this to be true in Oregon – since Christmas we’ve been receiving many calls from people wanting staging consultations as quickly as possible so they can start preparing their homes for sale. Rather than waiting for spring when the tax incentives are gone and interest rates are forcasted to be on the rise, they are working hard now to get their home ready to compete!
But are any homes selling? Last week two of our staged homes got offers. One Lebanon, Oregon home was staged less than a week. Another Corvallis Oregon home was staged, listed and sold in 11 days. Yes – we continue to see homes prepared and priced well selling!
