We are starting to see spring coming around the corner so now is the time to start preparing if you want to get into the spring market before it’s too late. The spring market begins to see an increase in buyer activity for buyers wanting to be settled by the time summer arrives. It also begins to see an increase in inventory, but not as much as summer so you can be ahead of the competition. If you are thinking of selling this spring, now is the time to get started.
- Interview Agents – find an agent that understands your local market and can help guide you through the entire process. With the help of an experienced agent, they can help guide you through the next steps of preparation knowing which activities will get you the most return on your investment.
- Make a Plan – it takes time to get everything ready to sell. The way we live in our homes is different than when you show it to sell. You will need to plan a timeline and set a goal for getting the house on the market. Life may change your timeline in the end, but having a goal at least gets everyone moving in the right direction.
- Start Preparing – Most likely part of the plan and preparing to sell will be decluttering and pre-packing. Spring is the perfect time to make this happen. It’s a great time to pack away that winter stuff, start spring cleaning and have the garage sale. You hope to be moving soon anyway so the more you can pack now the less to do later. As spring starts to bloom it’s also a great time to spruce up the curb appeal and flower beds.
- Price it Right – Price your house to sell with buyers shopping in the market before the competition heats up. Sell and move before summer to experience a great spring market and then relax and enjoy your summer in your beautiful new home!
