Best Season to Sell a Home

Top time to launch your home for sale

By Susan Wellish"Timing is everything" is a true expression in regard to home sales. Real estate agents will advise you when the best season and month is to introduce the sale of your home. Presenting and staging your home for market is a marketing tool. The goal is to sell the home during the prime selling season and receive the highest price and best sale terms. Evaluate with the real estate agent when you need to move into your new home. Your home sale should be timed with your relocation. Your required date of relocation and the time needed to sell the home will decide when the home should be placed on the market. The difference of getting your asking price and even attracting multiple buyers can be simply a factor of when during the year the home is sold. Spring and summerSpring brings rain and flowers - and possibly extra green in the final sales price of your home. Real estate agents are most charged and vibrant during spring. They are aware that the zenith of the selling season is the spring and summer. Selling in the spring and moving in the summer is a perfect arrangement for families. Families like to move during the summer to prepare for the new school year. The weather is warm and accommodating for moving and relocating. Springtime, with its blooming flowers and pleasant temperatures, is an ideal time to present your home to the real estate market. Real estate agents boast that over 50 percent of homes are sold during the summer.Fall and winter It's possible that your employer notified you of a job relocation in the fall and you missed the peak selling season for your home. Don't despair. Each season has positive aspects for selling a home. If you are selling your home in the fall, accentuate your landscaping with seasonal decorations, such as pumpkins and gourds, which will appeal to the potential homebuyers who come to take a look at your home. The winter season isn't a favorite for homebuyers to view homes due to the cold and the holiday season but holiday ornaments add charm and help homes sell during the winter season. Winter closings may also be advantageous as home buyers usually desire a quick closing.Geography is a contributing factor Selling a home quickly may not only be contingent on a season. The geography of your home may be a contributing factor to when the home should be sold. Florida has a large snow bird population; winter months are the popular months there due to the warm weather. The summers in Florida are known for their heat and humidity which are quite oppressive and make that season less than ideal for selling. Evaluate your location and weather before planning to present a new home to the real estate market.Have a plan Selling a home is a multi-step process. Real estate agents and lawyers are your expert advisors and will share the best tips on how to attain the best sales price and quickest way to sell your home.

Launching and presenting a home for sale can be easily achieved with positive results by following some of the above tips and tricks.
