Historically, Coeur d'Alene home sale activity
dips slightly in the fall and winter months.
This fact contributes to a substantial number of potential sellers taking their homes off the market. They mistakenly believe that sales will plummet, that buyers are now hunkered in and won't come out again until spring.
They're WRONG. Don't you make this mistake! Here are the true numbers of the percentage of homes SOLD each quarter in our Coeur d'Alene market:
1st QTR - 19% of annual sales
2nd QTR - 29% of annual sales
3rd QTR - 29% of annual sales
4th QTR - 23% of annual sales
As you can see, plenty of people are buying here in north Idaho all year around. Savvy sellers recognize that winter is the PERFECT time for them to list their house for sale!
It's all about supply and demand. For the next few months there will be fewer homes competing with you then any other time all year!
Real estate professionals have long known that buyers who are out house hunting at this time of year are SERIOUS buyers, and READY to buy NOW!
Yes, there are slightly fewer buyers out there, but make no mistake. Buyers are buying homes here 12 months a year! Don't make the mistake of keeping your home off the market during the time of year that you will have the least amount of competition!
