IS THIS A GOOD TIME TO SELL?
When is the best time to sell the house you have?
Tim Coen — Broker and Owner of Priority Home Realty Group
Selling your house would give you freedom to move where you want, and you want to maximize your profit from selling, so how do you know...
IS THIS A GOOD TIME FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR HOUSE?
DOES THE TIME OF YEAR MATTER FOR SELLING?
THE MARKET IS SEASONAL
Sales volume is typically at its lowest around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Activity typically starts to pick up after the new year, and it continues to rise through the spring.
The summer months are typically the busiest months.
Activity usually stays strong through the fall.
COMPETITION IS MUCH MORE CONSTANT
Since conventional wisdom says to sell in the busier times, most sellers start marketing in the spring and summer.
Interestingly, the ratio between available homes and sold homes stays pretty consistent all year.
The average number of days it takes to sell stays pretty consistent in every season too.
PICK THE TIMING THAT’S BEST FOR YOU!
The best time to sell your house has much more to do with when you are ready, and when you want or need to move than it does with the season.
Whenever you are ready to sell, I will help you get the most money possible, in the timing that works for you, with minimum hassle and surprises.
“Tim is the RIGHT PERSON. He left us the impression from our first visit that he had the knowledge and resources to get our home sold. He was so successful in guiding us and using his multiple resources in listing our home that we had 3 legitimate offers in 3 days. What a blessing to know that we could then purchase our new home without the stress of wondering when our current home would sell. He is so personable; and from the beginning he made sure that we understood the process and kept us informed on every issue. Of course, we love him, but so did our buyer. When we needed a reputable roofer, Tim had the right person for that job also.”
HOW IS THE MARKET RIGHT NOW?
MONEY IS AVAILABLE & RATES ARE LOOKING LIKE THEY SHOULD BE STABLE FOR A WHILE
The recent increase in rates, and uncertainty about how long they would stay high, have slowed the market from the frenzy of past years.
After a couple of years of dramatic rate increases and projections of volatility that have kept buyers on the sidelines, rate projections look pretty stable through 2025, which is great for sellers--hopefully buyers will understand this rate environment is the "new normal", and they'll be ready to move forward with their plans.
Lenders are making loans that make sense, and buyers can qualify as long as they are responsible and ready.
COMPETITION IS MODERATE BUT INCREASING
There are more available homes, and those homes are staying on the market a bit longer. This feels a little slow and scary to some sellers, but we're actually back in a pretty healthy, balanced market.
Unlike some of the recent years, when homes sold almost immediately, most buyers now have numerous good homes to choose from, so they are taking more time to think and being more picky about what they choose.
Good homes that are prepared well, priced right, and promoted effectively are still selling pretty quickly.
PRICES ARE STILL PRETTY HIGH, BUT THERE’S DOWNWARD PRESSURE
Because buyers have more choices, sellers are having to compete more with price, which often means selling for a little less than they had hoped.
Your house is probably worth substantially more today than what you paid for it, especially if you bought it several years ago.
If you are realistic about your price, you should be able to sell fairly quickly, and you should still walk away with a nice check!
“Tim did a superb job of selling our home. He was always personable and very informed. He gave us solid constructive advice in preparing our home for sale, enabling us to gain the best price. We always felt well represented and supported through the whole process. He knows his stuff, very professional, honest, punctual and pleasant. Tim is one of those rare honest to goodness guys the world could do with a lot more of.”

“The depth and breadth of skills Tim brings to the table are fantastic! On the day we received an offer, it started substantially below the asking price and by the end of the day, he had another buyer with a full price offer. Still makes me chuckle.

LET’S GET STARTED TODAY!
The first step toward successfully selling your house for top dollar in the market, in the timing that works for you, with minimum hassles and surprises is to EXPLORE MORE ABOUT HOME SELLING!
“When we contacted Tim about selling our home, we wanted to make sure we were comfortable with our agent/broker. He was very knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth with us. My husband and I agreed that Tim was the right one for us. We were selling in a tough market, but when we got discouraged, Tim would remind me how I could change things to influence the outcome. I don't know how he put up with us but he did and sold our house in just a few days. Tim is not only our broker but also a friend. You couldn't ask for a more professional real estate broker/agent who is truly honest and down to earth. We have recommended him to several people. He is truly one of a kind.”
