When thinking about selling your home one question most people tend to ask is “when is the right time?” Making sure you are accurately listing your property is important in order to make an easy transition for both you and your loved ones. Here are 5 reasons why the springtime is the best time to make that change!
1. CURB APPEAL
It’s no surprise that everything is more beautiful during the springtime. The sun is out, trees are green, and flowers are blooming, which means your landscape will look better than it has all year round! A beautiful front lawn will maximize your curb appeal causing your residence to appear more charming than ever.
2. SPRING MARKS WEDDING SEASON
Springtime is the most popular time for couples to say “I do”, which leads to their next steps of being first-time home buyers. Not only are they booking venues and picking arrangements; they’re also getting ready to take the next big step in their lives together by searching for their first home.
3. IT'S THE RIGHT TIME OF YEAR
As the holiday season and the school year come to an end, you may find that there is no better time for making the move to a new home than the springtime. Transitioning to a new area plays out smoother if done at the end as opposed to during the school term. Going through all the emotions and physical changes that come with purchasing or selling your home during the springtime allows for you to be fully situated to your new lifestyle by the time the fall rolls around, and that is a benefit you don’t want to miss out on!
4. THE PERFECT WEATHER FOR SHOWING A HOME
The period after the cold winter and before the summer heat makes for a perfect outdoor environment for all things real estate including showings, open houses, and previews! Spring season allows for you to calmly show the outdoor area of a home as comfortable as the interiors, which allows you to truly showcase even the smallest of details that make your home stand out.
5. THE MARKET IS MORE COMPETITIVE
Because of all the reasons mentioned above, the real estate market is at its busiest during the springtime. Not only are homes selling quicker; they’re selling at a higher price! For more information and advice on how to appropriately price your home watch this FAQ video by one of our agents!
