The best time to sell is when it suits your situation. If you bought it the right way, then anytime should be the right time. However, there are times that are more advantageous than others.

Let’s look at some scenarios:

The majority of sellers will prepare their homes for the Spring Market because there will be more would-be buyers that will be out there looking. The thing is, everybody thinks like that, so in reality, there will be more homes in competition with your home as well so you need to put in more effort in preparing your home. Statistics show that 40-60% of these buyers are just looking to test the waters, some will be looky-lous or would-be sellers checking out the competition.

During the winter months, there are fewer competitions in the market and more serious buyers because come to think of it — it is cold! You might have fewer visitors but these will be the more serious ones because, in reality, who wants to go out there and dress up for the weather, drive in these treacherous road and risk the chance of a slip and fall? You got the picture! Only the brave and more serious ones!

As for the best time to sell for higher sales price? February to March are the best times to put a house in the market, just right before the spring season starts, especially if you’re also in scout to buy a home to replace this one. This way, you get the best of both worlds!

How about you? What time of the year did you find it best to sell from experience?
