Is now a good time to sell your house?

My answer? The best time to sell your home is when you have the least amount of relative competition. While the summertime is busier than the wintertime in the real estate market, you want to look at the number of homes on the market you would compete against.

The best time to sell is when there's the least amount of relative competition.

For example, if two homes sell per month in January but there aren't any other homes on the market, now would be a great time to sell. On the other hand, if four homes sell per month in June, but there are nine homes on the market at the time, that market will be a lot more competitive. It always depends on the current market and the kind of situation that creates for you. It will show us how aggressive we can be in selling your house, given the competition that we're up against.

If you've been on the fence or you've had any thought of selling your home, give me a call or send me an email right away. I'd be happy to help you.
