Early spring to summer are usually the busiest times for home sales, but autumn can be a particularly favorable time for sellers. During the fall months, home inventories will fall and sellers will be less competitive. This means you can expect higher offers, less contingencies, and less scrutiny from buyers. You have more power over your requirements.
What about the buyers?
Autumn buyers are serious buyers! Earlier this year, many viewers are thinking about buying, but in the fall, those who are still looking are ready to sign a deal, often with a deadline. Many fall shoppers want to come before vacation, and if they have kids in school, they want to get them into their new school before so much time has passed.
Employers who pay for employee transfers also prefer to buy out of season to save on cost moving. If you live near a large hospital, university, technical center or industrial area, your home may be attractive for moving services.
Who’s most likely to buy?
Autumn is also a great time for shoppers who aren’t looking into the school districts. Young professionals and empty nests are the two groups most likely to buy in the fall. When marketing to these people, it’s a good idea to show space for your exercise room, home office, or playroom.
Take a step now!
Autumn is much better for showing off your house than late summer. Take advantage of the mild weather and festive atmosphere to increase the potential of your home showings. With cooler temperatures and brighter, clearer autumn days, it’s easier to maintain and enhance your garden. You can use autumn leaves to decorate your home to create a cozy atmosphere. Don’t forget the fragrant candles with pumpkin spices and hot oatmeal cookies to encourage buyers a lot of fun.
If you’re considering selling, but don’t know if you want to place it now and wait until the end of the holiday, now is the time. Call me and tie the whole process with a nice red ribbon long before the new year.
