Are You Ready to Sell This Spring?

Thinking About Selling Your Home?

If you’re thinking about selling this spring, it’s time to get moving. The best week to list your house is fast approaching. Experts at realtor.com looked at seasonal trends from recent years (excluding 2020 as an uncharacteristic year due to the pandemic) and determine the ideal week to list a house this year.

“Home sellers on the fence waiting for that perfect moment to sell should start preparations. The week of April 16-22 is expected to have the ideal balance of housing market conditions that favor home sellers.”

If you’ve been waiting for the best time to sell, this is your chance. But, remember before you put your house on the market, you need to get it ready. If you haven’t started that process, you’ll need to move quickly. Here’s what you should keep in mind.

Determine Which Updates to Make

Start by prioritizing which updates you’ll make. In February, realtor.com asked more than 1,200 recent or potential home sellers what updates they ended up making to their home.

As you can see, the most common answers included landscaping and painting. I can help you determine which projects make the most sense.

If Possible, Plan to Have Your House Staged

Once you’ve made any necessary repairs and updates to your house, consider having it staged. According to the National Association of Realtors, 82% of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. Almost half of buyers’ agents said home staging had an effect on most buyers’ view of the home. Homes that are staged typically sell faster and for a higher price. It helps potential buyers more easily picture their new life in the house.

Bottom Line
