Get ready to break out the beanie, gloves and scarf… there are just two weeks left before it is officially WINTER!
If you’ve been contemplating selling your home but think you should wait until spring, here are six good reasons why selling your home in winter is actually a good idea:
- Real estate prices are influenced by supply and demand. With less properties on the market in winter, your home could be in high demand!
- The transactional side of home-buying can move a little smoother and quicker during winter when there are fewer property sales being processed and settlement delays are less likely.
- Your open inspections may see less time-wasting sticky-beakers, as winter buyers braving unpleasant weather are usually highly motivated, serious buyers.
- It’s easy to make your home look and feel inviting to potential buyers in winter. Light the fire or turn on your heaters, brew coffee or bake biscuits to create a comforting aroma, and create cosy vibes with rugs and cushions in the lounge and bedrooms.
- There are always buyers looking for a home… there can be less homes for sale in winter but there are never less buyers.
- The garden is always green and lush in winter!
So don’t dismiss the idea of selling in winter – unless you live by the beach or have a swimming pool it may be that winter open inspections suit your home perfectly.
