Spring Home Selling and Buying Season
Spring Home Selling and Buying Season
As winter comes to a close, the real estate market starts to heat up with the spring home selling and buying season. This is the time of year when buyers and sellers alike are eager to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days to list their homes or find a new one. In this blog, we’ll discuss what buyers and sellers can expect during this season, how neighborhoods play a role, and how a Realtor ® can help you navigate the market.
For Sellers
If you’re thinking about listing your home this spring, now is the time to get started. The spring season typically brings out more buyers, which means there’s more competition in the market. The market has changed over the last year with rising interest rates some feared there would be less demand. While rates have factored into the amount of home a buyer can buy, it has not impacted the demand. There is still more demand than inventory. Unlike the past couple of years where buyers were buying outdated and poorly maintained properties at premium prices, they are now becoming more selective. The homes they are willing to purchase now are expected to be updated and in move in ready condition. With the higher interest rates buyers have less funds to remodel homes. To stand out, you’ll want to make sure your home is in top shape and ready to impress potential buyers. This means decluttering, making small repairs, and staging your home to show it off in its best light. I can help you determine what is needed and provide guidance along the way.
For Buyers
The spring season is also a great time for buyers to start searching for their dream home. With more homes on the market, you’ll have more options to choose from. However, keep in mind that you’ll also be competing with other buyers. This means you’ll need to be ready to act quickly if you find a home you love. Make sure you have your financing in place and be prepared to submit an offer as soon as possible. It is key to work with a real estate agent like myself, who will be very proactive with searching out houses, networking to find homes as they are preparing to list and quickly responding to submit offers.
Neighborhoods
When it comes to buying or selling a home, the neighborhood you choose is just as important as the home itself. During the spring season, you’ll want to pay close attention to the neighborhoods you’re interested in. Are there more homes for sale? Are homes selling quickly? Are prices going up or down? These are all factors that can impact your decision to buy or sell in a particular neighborhood.
