When is the best time to sell my Nanaimo house?

When is the best time to sell my Nanaimo house?

I am often asked “when is the best time to sell a house in Nanaimo?”  I decided to do a little research and prepare a chart that shows a month-by-month flow of home sales in Nanaimo over the past 12 months.

Best time to sell your Nanaimo homes

The three top months for single family home sales in Nanaimo, between June 2011 and May 2012 were:

1.        April

2.       August 

3.       May

When deciding to sell your Nanaimo home I would suggest that there are a number of factors that will determine when the best time to sell is.  As a Nanaimo Realtor I supply my clients with monthly real estate sales stats.  With these statistics we can determine many factors that will assist you in determining if timing is good to try and sell your home.  We will review the following:

1.        What type of market is it?  A balanced market, a buyer’s market  or a seller’s market

2.       How many days is the average listing taking to sell

3.       What percentage of asking price is the average listing receiving

4.       How many listings are actually selling

5.       How many listings are currently on the market and what is the absorption rate

To receive a current overview of the Nanaimo real estate market  please give me a call.

Caring expertise...knowledge for you!

Savvy post...interesting months for action, too.   For my secondary home area, it's usually August/Sept for the majority of sales activity.
