Traditionaly Spring Is The Best Time To Sell Your Home In Huntsville or Madison AL

And this week’s news released in the Freddie Mac U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook proved that Spring is an ideal time to sell your home. Citing the combination of low mortgage rates, heightened consumer confidence and higher home prices, Freddie Mac even created a video (see below) detailing the March 2013 U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook.

2 Key Factors That Bode Well For Your Home Sale

  • Anticipation of a 8-10% Increase in 2013 Home Sales.
  • Home Affordability at Highest Level in Decades.

This week also marks a trend in the 30-year fixed mortgage rate, with it having remained below 4% for an entire year.  Currently the 30 year fixed rate is 3.54% with .8 point and the 15 year fixed is 2.72 with a .7 point.  The 5 year ARM remained steady at 2.61 % with .6 point and the 1 year ARM was down slightly to 2.63 with a .4 point.  Our local lenders here in Huntsville and Madison Alabama tell pretty much the same story with Conventional 30 year and 15 year fixed rates at 3.625% & 2.75% respectively.  FHA & VA 30 year rates are currently at 3.25%

According to Freddie Mac Vice President and Chief Economist, Frank Nothaft, “History shows us not all economic recoveries are created equal and consumer confidence mirrors this fact. With the spring home buying season upon us, the recent highs in the stock market are a welcome signal of better times ahead. But it will be the gradually declining unemployment rate and steadily improving housing market that will deliver broad-based economic benefits for Americans and, in turn, support the overall recovery.”

Nick,  Best wishes on selling in your area.  Would that Michigan follow in these footsteps. Actually, spring is a great time to present a Home for sale as long as the snows & rains cease and desist.
Our area is still hovering with the coldness. We are waiting for the sunshine to come and stay.
You and yours have a great Easter this coming Sunday.

Nick, we are in the high time to list and get a home sold. People want to get themselves settled in and especially if they have kids, have them ready for the fall re-opening.

Hope you have a successful spring selling season Nick.  Not quite so seasonal here as we have some different market dynamics.

I realize that different areas have their own prime selling season, but here in Northern Alabama Spring is very busy.  Actually, most any time after the first of the year is a great time to list your home.  The market generally stays strong through June and July then tapers off and picks back up again in the fall, but not as strong as the first half of the year.  I'm guessing that weather, school schedules, vacation times and perhaps local industry plays a part in seasonal sales.
