Do Lapeer MI Houses Sell in the Winter?
I have been asked this question quite a bit lately. The short answer is yes. Not as many as in the summer- as you can see from the graph below, there's a big drop in January. This is due mostly to the Christmas holidays. Thanksgiving and New Years affect this, too.
I used this year along side last year- higher percentage of non-distressed sales. When there were a lot of short sales and foreclosures they sold when they hit the market.
If you are thinking about selling your Lapeer County home, there is really no bad time to list. Buyers buy year 'round. Buyers in the winter tend to be more serious. It is not fun to look at houses with snow up to your butt, so you may have less showings for the same outcome- a sold house. There also tend to be less houses for sale in the winter so the competition is less.
