There’s something about warm weather that makes buyers flock to new homes. In fact, from late March through June, the real estate market in the Triangle area becomes a prime seller’s market.
If you’re making a move soon and want to sell fast (and for a good price), here are the top reasons why you should list your home this spring.
More Competitive Pricing
All across the country, spring is known as the time when buying picks up. Most people have just gotten tax returns back, school is almost out, and the sunshine has everyone in a better mood. In fact, researchers have even narrowed the selling spike down to a more specific window—the first two weeks in May.
Since so many buyers are flooding the market, prime properties become a hot commodity. We can help you price your home competitively, up the value, and stage it for success, so you’ll sell quickly and at a good price.
Convenient Timing
The sunshine and warmer weather of springtime is nature’s mood-booster—but that’s not the main reason why the timing is so convenient. With the school year almost over, a lot of families choose to make a big move during May and June since it interrupts their lives the least and gives them plenty of time to settle in before things start back up.
Plus, spring is easily the best season weather-wise to move during. You don’t have to sweat under the summer sun or shiver through winter winds. Instead, you get the best of both worlds while you’re hauling around boxes.
Serious Buyers
When buyers mean business, sellers reap the benefits. Not only does the more competitive market make for higher prices, but it also means the sales process will be much shorter than usual.
But since spring is known as a popular time for selling, you won’t be the only seller trying to capitalize on motivated buyers—you need to stand out from the competition. That’s where we come in.
Simple Staging
Staging a home is one of the most important parts of selling. Not only will a good staging leave a lasting impression on buyers, but it can also get you a better price for your home. If you make a few simple improvements, do a deep clean, and use the season to your advantage, you could start quite the bidding war on your home.
Selling in spring means you’re in luck: it’s also one of the best seasons for staging. The increased sunshine allows for plenty of wide-open windows and mood-boosting natural lighting. The freshly blooming flowers and trees means plenty of neutral decor opportunities and more appealing landscaping. Use the season to your advantage, and step up your gardening game!
