7 Reasons Why Selling Your Home In The Winter Months IS Better Than Waiting For Spring Or Summer

If you are on the fence about selling in the winter vs. waiting for spring/summer, here's some great information:

  1. There is 20% less homes for sale in the winter, compared to spring and summer months.
  2. In the winter months, the buyers in the market are serious about buying a home. There aren't many “tire kickers” out in the cold house hunting. They are usually motivated buyers.
  3. There is less inconvenience to the family to keep the home up for showings, because there's less people house hunting in winter.
  4. With scheduled showings, there doesn't have to be any disturbance to holiday festivities.
  5. Several studies have shown homes sold during the winter season sell closer to listing price than those sold during the spring and summer.
  6. Contract negotiations are easier and seller concessions less are generally less in the winter months. Remember, buyers in the winter are serious about finding a home. It's a captive audience.
  7. Realtors(R) aren't as busy in the winter months, and with less inventory, there is more attention on your property.
