Is It Better To Wait Till Spring To Sell?
December 1st, 2007 Categories: Selling
Today a seller asked me if this is a good time to sell. I asked if she was definitely moving and her response was yes. So then I told her it was a great time to move.
Now does that mean I am going to throw up a sign and get three offers? No. But if you think about it, there never is a good time to move. Selling a house, packing, relocating the kids, the dog…
Then the question comes up, isn’t it better to wait till the spring? The answer is a resounding NO. Then the question is, aren’t there more buyers in the spring? Yes, what else is there more of in the spring, sellers. Lots of them, they’re like perennials. In fact this spring there will be more sellers than buyers.
So the fact is now is a good time to sell (if you have to), because any buyer that is out there now is motivated and does not have a lot to choose from and if you are in good shape and priced good, you should have less problems than in the spring.
Of course the other mind numbing thought of “Should I sell then buy or should I buy then sell“?
Am I being over optimistic? Maybe, but a good salesperson is definitely an optimist, would you want to hire Eeyore? The trick is an optimist and the truth.

I agree with the ‘Do I sell now’ thought. In my experience we see a lot of seller who ‘wait’ until Spring to sell or pull off for the holidays to come on in Spring. We also see more relocation buyers now.
