5 REASONS TO SELL THIS WINTER

Below are five compelling reasons to list your house this winter.

1. Demand Is Strong

The latest Buyer Traffic Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that 

buyer demand remains strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These 

buyers are 

ready, willing, and able to purchase, and are in the market right now. More often than 

not, in many areas of the country, multiple buyers are competing with each other to buy
the same home.

Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market.

2. There Is Less Competition Now

Inventory is still under the 6-month supply needed for a normal housing market. This means

 in the majority of the country, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of 

buyers in the market.

Historically, a homeowner would stay an average of six years in his or her home. Since 

2011, that number has hovered between nine and ten years. There is a pent-up desire for many

 homeowners to move as they were unable to sell over the last few years due to a negative 

equity situation. As home values continue to appreciate, more and more homeowners will

 be given the freedom to move.

Many homeowners were reluctant to list their homes over the last couple of years, for fear they

 would not find a home to move into. That is all changing now as more homes come to market at 

the higher end. The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don’t wait until 

additional inventory comes to market before you decide to sell.

3. Buyers Are Serious at This Time of Year

Traditionally, homeowners think about spring as a great time to list their homes, when more buyer

 traffic may be out there actively searching. In the winter, however, the buyers who are seeking 

a home – whether for relocation or otherwise – are serious ones. They’re ready to make offers

 and they’re eager to move, often quickly. Your house may be exactly what they’re looking

 for, so listing when other potential sellers are holding off may be your best opportunity to shine.

4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up

If your next move will be into the premium or luxury market, now is the time to move up. 

There is currently ample inventory for sale at higher price ranges. This means if you’re 

planning on selling a starter or trade-up home and moving into your dream home, you’ll 

be able to do that now. Demand for your entry-level home is high, and inventory in the luxury 

or premium market is too.

According to CoreLogic, prices are projected to appreciate by 5.6% over the next year. 

If you are moving to a higher-priced home, it will wind up costing you more in raw 

dollars (both in down payment and in your mortgage) if you wait.

5. It’s Time to Move On With Your Life

Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it’s worth

 waiting. Is money more important than being with family? Are you ready to go on with your life 

the way you think you should?

Only you know the answers to these questions. You have the power to take control of the situation

 by putting your home on the market this winter. Perhaps the time has come for you and
your family  to move on and start living the life you desire.
