THINKING OF SELLING NEXT YEAR? NOW’S THE TIME TO PLAN
Some people are natural planners, while others – not so much. But if you’re planning on selling your home next year, now is the time to start planning the big event so you can make sure you and your home are ready to roll. And it all starts by speaking to an agent.
It’s true every year can bring changes to the market, but recent years have been fairly stable, which means the prices and other sales data from this season will be a pretty good predictor for nest year. Speaking with an agent now means you’ll have an idea of what kind of price your home might bring as well as what surrounding homes are selling for. Plus, you can also find out about features that are appealing to area buyers so you have plenty of time to make upgrades that could bring a higher price or a faster sale – or both.
Home sales start in earnest during the very early spring or a little before, and while that may sound like a long way off, the sooner you start to plan, the better positioned your home will be when early March rolls around.
