I distributed an article to my sphere of influence entitled BEST TIME TO SELL about 6 years ago. Back then the information made sense. Today what can we say?
Back then I said: "During September, October and November, you will find more homeowners who are being transferred. They will list their homes to be sold and be eager to find new ones. Again, there may be fewer buyers, but those who are looking are serious."
And of course, I wrote about each of the other time periods with encouragement and the advice that: "Regardless of when you decide to sell, each time of the year has its ups and downs. You will most likely make your decision based on how you and your family are best served, and by your particular circumstances."
The real truth was in the conclusion of the article: "Remember, too, that the market will always shift to the seller's advantage when the economy is good and interest rates are down, regardless of the time of year."
And to the seller today, who doesn't have any advantages, the advice is still the same: "You will most likely make your decision based on how you and your family are best served, and by your particular circumstances."
The advice we need to give today is to the buyers - the economy is bad, interest rates are down and you would be foolish to not take advantage of such a great buyer's market. It's an opportunity that we haven't seen in 5-10 years.
SO speak with confidence in the knowledge that markets do shift. And to the buyer who doesn't own a home, he/she /they will be best be served by buying now because this just may be the BEST TIME TO BUY for many seasons to come.
