Is Winter a Good Time to List Your Home?

Is this time of year really a slow season for real estate? In some aspects it can
be since people are intent upon finding that perfect Christmas gift, attending holiday parties and spending quality time with friends and loved ones. However, winter is actually a great time to list your home. Inventory is low and buyers are plentiful. We recommend listing as early as you are ready, but by March if possible. Most buyers are out looking already and would like to be in a lake home by summer.
If you find yourself in the beginning stages of trying to get your home on the market now is the time to begin that process. You will no doubt need to assess what needs to be done in order to get your house ready to sell. Take this time to start the punch list of items that have to be addressed prior to listing. Now is the time to begin interviewing realtors that you might want to list your home as you will want to use someone with whom you can establish a relationship and with whom you can feel comfortable. Having a realtor see your home to discuss the home’s value and to help with the preparation and staging of your home is critical. And don’t forget the perfect realtor is key to finding great buyers and ultimately selling your home.
