Selling A Home In The Winter

December 30, 2015 by Eric Lowry

Selling a home in the winter can be very beneficial to you as a home owner believe it or not. You may think that Spring or even Summer is the best time to put your home on the market, and that’s not quite true. There are several reasons you may want to consider selling a home in the winter.

The buyers who are out looking at homes in the winter are typically very serious buyers, and for varying reasons, have a strong motivation to buy. Braving the winter temperatures and snow is not for the faint of heart. These buyers need to find a home, and usually they need to do so quickly.

Inventory is much lower in the winter than it is in the Spring and Summer. Selling a home in the winter means less competition for you as a seller. If you wait until Spring, the home inventory shoots up. Many other sellers put their homes on the market in the Spring and Summer, and there is also an influx of available New Construction to compete with as well. If you want to sell your home for the best price possible, wouldn’t you want to go up against less competition rather than more?

The accompanying chart shows the home inventory levels for the first five months of 2015 according the National Association of Realtors. As you can see, the longer you wait the higher the level of competition you will have when putting your home on the market.

Reasons Why You Should Sell Your House Now

Reasons Why You Should Sell Your House Now

There are a number of reasons why you should sell your house now!

The number one reason to sell your home now is that there is less competition in the Winter than there is in the Spring. Buyers looking for a home will have less homes to choose from. Make one of their choices your home! Also, people that are looking to purchase a home in the bitter cold of Winter are usually very serious and motivated buyers.

Another reason that now is a good time to sell your home is that interest rates are projected to go up. This makes it an opportune time for a person that has been thinking of moving to a new home. Buy now before interest rates begin to rise. This works in your favor as well. The sooner you sell while interest rates are down, the better your chances of moving into your dream home.

If you have been thinking of selling your home during the Winter, contact Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist of The Lowry Team.

The Lowry Team :: Selling A Home During The Holidays

October 17, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team :: Selling A Home During The Holidays

The Fall and upcoming holidays can actually be a great time to sell your house! Let’s look at the opportunities that the immediate Fall and holiday time periods present:

First, the inventory of homes for sale (the competition) is lower right now, so your home has a better chance of capitalizing on the buyers that are out there looking right now. Many homeowners are planning to wait until after the holidays, which will cause a flood of new listings to come on the market. Without an increase in buyers looking, this increased supply of homes for sale will likely cause a further drop in home prices. If you truly want to get the best possible price for your home, right now may be the best time.

Second, selling a home while it is decorated for Thanksgiving and Christmas may make it show better. Homes that are nicely decorated for the holidays look nicer than at any other time of year. Why not use this opportunity to impress potential buyers with the warmth and added beauty of your homes interior. Buyers often buy homes based on emotion and a really nice home, decorated beautifully can seal the deal.

Third, the buyers that are out looking at homes right now are serious, motivated buyers. You may not get as many showings, but the ones you get will be serious. The “just looking” buyers are not out at looking at homes now. The buyers that are out looking at homes for sale in West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge and Mason right now are ones that are ready to move.

Fourth, marketing matters in today’s challenging real estate market and getting a head start on the rush of inventory coming after the holidays can put money in your pocket. Homes that sell quickly sell for more! Getting your home on the market now get’s the marketing process going during a time when the photos of your home will look so much better. Photos taken now vs photos taken in January or February can make a huge difference, not just in the still photography, but in the creation of the virtual tours and online videos that we create of your home.
