Should You Sell Your Home In Winter?

There is a lot of hype about spring/summer market. While it is the busiest time of the year for real estate, that doesn’t imply that fall or winter is absolutely the worst time to sell or buy property. To be honest, the best time for a real estate transaction is subject to a lot of factors, including your market. In Texas, even winter brings its own set of benefits and advantages for both the sellers and the buyers.

You Will Only Get Serious Buyers

Spring summer season also attracts a lot of window shoppers— just having a look around in hopes of hitting a jackpot. In winter, there are very few buyers, but most of them are the ones seriously interested in buying the home rather than wasting your time.

Waiting May Result in Higher Rates

The Texas market is hot and prices are only expected to rise. Waiting for summer/ spring means risking the interest rate, which is currently feasible for most people. This is a factor that affects buyers as well as sellers.

The Inventory is Low

The inventory is low and therefore the market isn’t very competitive. Contrary to popular belief, your home is likely to spend less time on the listing during winter. The key is to make it winter-friendly enough.

We will be sharing some winter preparation tips in the near future. If you want good price for your home without waiting for the bright summer sun, a good realtor may help you find the right buyer.
