Have you been thinking about listing your house or condo for sale? As you are likely aware, the seasons play a role in our local real estate market and how busy it is. Nicer weather brings out the most in any real estate market, with buyers spending their evenings and weekends touring open houses and finalizing short lists. Many markets cool off a bit in the winter, but that does not mean that the buyers disappear.

In today’s blog post we will explore why selling your home during the winter can beat waiting for the real estate market to warm up in the spring.

Interest Rates Are On The Way Up

One key consideration this year is that interest rates are trending upward. While it is impossible to predict the movements that the Federal Reserve will make, there is every sign that rates will tick upward soon. Mortgage interest rates tend to rise along with the Federal Reserve’s upward movements, so selling now means selling while mortgages are a bit cheaper.

There Is Less Competition In The Market

Another great feature of listing your home for sale during the winter is that you are likely to face less competition from other home sellers. Fewer homes in the local inventory mean fewer options for buyers that need to close on a home quickly. If your house is clean, in top condition and adequately staged, you can rest assured that it will stand out from the other available options.

It is true that there may be fewer potential buyers shopping for a new home during the winter. However, you will tend to find that winter buyers are serious about finding and purchasing a home. They are much less likely to be ‘window shopping’ or passing through viewing open houses.

Holiday Staging Is That Much More Fun

Finally, it is worth mentioning that staging can be a lot more fun during the holidays. Selling your home in the summer means trimming the lawn, keeping the garden looking clean and maintaining your curb appeal. Selling your home over the holidays means Christmas lights, decorations, baked goods and a more festive atmosphere.

Selling your home in the winter might seem a bit counterintuitive, but with the market easing up and less inventory available you will find serious, interested buyers.

    We had made a move out west from North Carolina for business reasons, and we did not have time to finish some upgrades such as new carpet, fixing a small area of mold in one of the bathrooms, and some painting.  We had selected an investor in NC who advertised quick closings, all cash for as-is homes.  They backed out of the deal at the last minute, and we had a home under construction in Utah.


    We called We Buy Homes for Cash, and they were wonderful.  Blake, Mason and Bryan made the whole process smooth and stress free.  We were able to close in about two weeks.

    We are about to close on our new home in Utah.  This would not have been possible without their professional and personable service.  I highly recommend We Buy Homes for Cash.

    I had been wanting to sell my house for several months but every realtor I talked to needed me to clean up my house and I have 30 years worth of stuff here.  I was not able to get rid of my stuff or pack it all away.  My home also needed some repairs like the roof and some plumbing stuff.  I called We Buy Homes Cash and the experience was amazing.  They gave me $2,000 up front so I could buy the moving supplies I needed to pack.  Then they let me stay in the house for 2 weeks after they closed.  This was so helpful.  Thank you so much Tyson and all the others that helped me make my move to Ohio possible.

    If you're looking to sell your home, I can't think of a more reputable and fair team to work with.  Tyson and his team went above and beyond to make sure they understood the process of working with a cash buyer went.  The process was very smooth and painless and I am sincerely thankful for their services.
