When is spring in Real Estate?

When you think of spring, you think of April Showers and May Flowers. In real estate, the spring market is half over by then. Will you have missed your buyer if you list your house in April or May? Are you still going to get the best traffic? When is the best time to put your house on the market?

Buyers are out now! There are some major FHA financing changes coming April 1, 2013. Buyers using this type of financing are looking to purchase before then. In addition to that, interest rates are still really low. No one knows when they will start to go up. Buyers want to make sure they take advantage of the current rates.

In May and June real estate inventory is at its peak. This gives buyers lots to pick from. Listing before then puts your house in a smaller group. Increasing your odds of the buyers looking at your house and writing an offer.

The best time to put your house on market is when it is ready. You only get one shot to make the best impression possible to buyers. Presenting your house the best way possible is a must in today’s market. If it is ready to go, list it now!

Spring in Real Estate is now! Get your house ready and get it on the market ASAP. Not thinking of selling your house? Please pass this on to someone you know who is.
