When Is The Right Time To Sell Your Katy Home?
We are always asked...what is the right time of year to sell? Is one season better than the next? What months should I NOT be on the market?
These are all good questions, but it is hard to give any kind of definite answer. First: any time of year can be a good time...we sell homes all 12 months, and buyers buy in all 12 months. Many buyers want to purchase right before the year ends to take advantage of Homestead Exemptions, Some want to get the kids in before school starts, and relocation buyers come in whenever the company they work for tells them they need to fill a need!
Generally speaking we have more buyers and more homes available in the spring and summer months, and fewer buyers...fighting for fewer homes in the fall and winter. If you put your home up for sale in October you will likely see fewer showings, but the buyers will have less to look at so it will increase your chance of sale with each individual showing.
In the end the real answer is that time of year should not be your deciding factor in selling. A good Realtor can do a market analysis for you that shows what the specific market conditions are, and how you can maximise your exposure.
The Internet works 24/7 so make sure you have a Realtor who will use technology to its fullest...this is what will separate your home from your neighbors!!!
