Today is the Best Time to Sell Your House -- 5 Reasons Why
Summer Ends September 23rd -- So there is still time!
Are you thinking about selling your house? Have you had conversations with family and friends about planning to sell your Wisconsin (Kenosha or Racine) house? While the real estate market can be unpredictable, statistics indicate the months of August and September offer several advantages for sellers.
Timing plays a crucial role in maximizing your sale price.
There are many reasons to list your house in Wisconsin now. Below I will share with you my Top 5 Reasons.
Buyer Demand
Buyers are still seriously looking for a home and want to get settled before Thanksgiving and Christmas visit us again. The competition has been rough this year and many buyers have taken a break but are jumping back in and want to give it another GO - Now, before the Fall and Winter seasons are upon us.
Sale Price
Your pricing strategy is very important. When priced right (competitively) it welcomes prospective buyers who are serious about buying and sets the stage for a potential bidding war. Need to get a ballpark idea of what your home is worth right now? What is My House Worth?
Housing Inventory is Still Low
When supply is low and demand is high, selling your house can be profitable. The total inventory of for-sale homes in the USA remains relatively low.
Find Your Why?
Determine from these typical reasons below why now is the time to sell:
1. I am ready to downsize
2. I need to upsize
3. My home's value has grown
4. I need to relocate for a New Job or due to other Life Change
5. I want to sell a second or inherited home
6. I could pay cash for my next home
7. I can't afford to keep my home
Curb Appeal and Landscaping
This can include anything from basic lawn care and fresh mulch to new walkways, exterior paint, and upgraded front doors and garage doors. Not only does enhanced curb appeal get more eyeballs on your home in a shorter amount of time, it may also yield as much as $12,000-$15,000 in estimated resale value.
If everything in your life is lining up, and you are ready to make a move, then now is certainly not a bad time to sell your home! That said, the traditional selling season every year is summertime.
