THE TIME TO SELL IS NOW
Selling your home in the Charleston, WV. real estate market or
Huntington,WV. real estate market during the fall and winter months is a
great idea! Conventional thinking from the average seller may think
otherwise but let us analyze why listing now, rather then later, could
ensure a quick and painless sale. For one, every Tom, Dick and Sharon wants
to wait until spring to put their house on the market which means your
competition is going to be flooded. Sure, the logic is that buyers are
coming out of their winter slumber and ready for a change but keep in mind
that in our area there is a constant stream of buyers so there is always a
need for a place to live. With that in mind, should you decide to list in
the fall or winter then your home is going to be very fresh. The average
listing period is 6 months so by the time fall or winter comes around,
buyers have seen a lot of the homes that have been on the market for awhile
and are ready to pounce on something new. This could lead to a very quick
sale and most likely more money. How is that you ask? The longer your house
sits on the market (with all the competition you would have if you listed in
the spring) the lower the offers you are going to get on your property. So,
if your ready to sell but thinking of waiting until spring, you might want
to think again!
