Destin Florida Real Estate-Should I Wait Until Next Year To List
Has the time come to sell your Destin Florida area property? Perhaps the money invested locally can do more for you in another market? Regardless of the reason for selling, when is the best time to list your Emerald Coast area home for sale? Let's examine some factors that can influence your timing.
1) Is the home your primary residence or an investment property-- There are investors RIGHT NOW seeking properties to close on prior to the end of the year. Usually motivated by tax purposes, these buyers need to close prior to December 31. Listing next spring will miss this entire class of buyer. For primary homes, some sellers do not want showings during the holidays.
2) Have you identified "the next" real estate deal-- If so, do you need the proceeds from the Destin Florida real estate to close the new deal? An answer in the affirmative suggests listing now as the better option.
3) Is The home ready for market--Every buyer claims to be able to see past needed repairs or improvements. Investors are the only group that typically do this, but of course they will likely want a discount. List when the home is in the best shape possible (without investing a fortune in updating).
4) Are YOU ready for market--With all the negative media of late, some Destin Florida area sellers assume it will take forever to sell. I listed a condo in September that found a buyer in THREE DAYS. If we find a buyer immediately will that create stress for you?
