Unlike at the height of the pandemic, when any time of year was favorable, the market is stabilizing, and it’s once again important to consider this factor. It’s also important to note that selling your property in the spring can bring you higher returns, both in terms of selling price and time to sell.
How long does it take to decide to put your house up for sale?
Normally, we carry out a few repairs and preparations suggested by your real estate broker. That’s why it’s important to have a pre-sale consultation. In today’s market, a well-presented property at the right price should sell within 4-6 weeks. Of course, the deadline for moving in is always negotiated in the promise to sell and can vary from 30-180 days, always at the seller’s discretion.
Why is spring the best time to sell?
Serious buyers looking to move in the summer are motivated to close a deal before summer. People are more apt to make changes in spring – it’s a time for renewal! Gardens are in bloom, adding to the appeal of your home, and interior spaces are extremely bright. What’s more, families are looking to plan their purchases, so they’ll be well settled in their new homes when school starts.
