Want to buy a home? Search all homes for sale
The holidays can be chaotic with other commitments. We notice a lot of properties are removed from the market during this time of year. Sometimes, sellers don’t add their home to the market until after the new year begins, even as late as May.
There’s a lot of shadow inventory, or rather, homes still for sale that aren’t active in the MLS. If you’re a buyer, how do you get that information? You need to work with a Realtor, because you can’t see those homes on your own.
The winter is a great time for both buyers and sellers. When inventory is low, there’s less competition. There are fewer homes on the market now compared to the springtime.
If you’re serious about selling, we recommend listing right away. There are buyers out there. They will always be out there! They might be looking for a home just like yours. Even if you’re thinking about selling next year, it’s crucial to start talking to a real estate agent now. This is a great time to get exterior photos, repair, and prepare your home overall.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, give us a call or email today! Have a happy holiday season.
