Spring Market Madness: Should You Sell Now?

Thinking of selling your house? Don’t let speculation hold you back! Spring might be the perfect time to make your move and score a successful sale.

Sure, the crazy hot seller’s market of the pandemic has cooled a bit, but there’s good news. There are still amazing reasons to sell your house now. Keep reading to find out more.

Inventory Sweet Spot

Imagine a Goldilocks scenario. Just the right amount of choices; not too many, not too few. That’s the inventory situation we have this spring! There are more houses for buyers to consider compared to last year, but it’s still a seller’s market. With fewer homes for sale overall, yours has a chance to grab the attention of eager buyers.

Peak Season Profits

Ever heard “strike while the iron is hot”? The same applies to selling your house. Research shows that late spring and early summer are prime selling months. Think May, June, or July. These months could mean thousands of extra dollars in your pocket compared to other times of year. Data shows May takes the crown for the highest seller’s premium. This means you could potentially net way more than market value!

Spring’s Sunny Advantage

Let’s be honest. Nobody enjoys shivering through rain to look at houses, right? Spring and summer offer sunshine and warm weather, the perfect recipe for enticing potential buyers to explore properties. Longer daylight hours mean more time for home viewings. This maximizes exposure for your listing. And here’s another bonus. Families often prioritize moving before the new school year kicks off, creating a surge in buyer activity during these spring and summer months.

But Wait, There’s More!

While spring and summer are rockstars for sellers, October and December tend to see a dip in seller’s premiums. Think about it. People are likely settled in before the holidays, and shorter days with less sunlight might zap some of the buyer motivation.

Location, Location, Location

Just like that perfect pair of jeans that flatters everyone differently, seasonal trends can vary depending on your region. Places with sunshine year-round might experience less dramatic shifts between peak and slow seasons. This means that in sunny Southern California, people tend to be looking to buy year-round.

Selling your house in spring offers a wealth of advantages. To maximize your chances of a successful sale during this prime selling season, connect with your local Surterre real estate expert!
