Homes & Land Listed in the Fall to Spring or the Winter Sell Best ...

As we roll through the holidays and into winter, many would-be sellers will be holding off on listing their home, waiting for the spring ?selling season? to put their home on the market.? But if you?re ready to sell your home now, is waiting until spring the best strategy?? Not according to the data, it isn?t.

Homes listed in winter sell faster.

Homes listed in winter are more likely to sell.

Homes listed in winter sell closest to their original price.

Homes listed in winter sell best.

Yes, you read that right!? Overall, homes listed in winter sell best.?? 5.8% more homes listed in winter eventually sell (compared to the overall percentage of homes listed throughout the year), and they sell 1.4 percentage points closer to their original list price than the median?that?s $4,900 on a $350,000 home.

Spring wins in one category.? Speed!??? Homes? listed? in spring sell the fastest, sitting on the market for 15% less time than the median.? Winter comes in second in this category though, at six percent below the median.? While homes listed in summer and fall both sell slower than the median (12% and 16%, respectively).

Why do you think most sellers are afraid to list their homes in winter?? Don?t be shy about sharing this data with your friends who continue to twiddle their thumbs and ?wait for better times.?? As the data shows, there?s no time like the present to list a property.

Here?s wishing you the best of the Fall!
