The Spring Market Starts Now!

I know what you’re thinking; “Spring?! But Karen, it’s only January!”

The truth is; the spring market starts now.

Most people underestimate the home selling process.

From the time you think about selling, the process usually goes something like the following:

-Think about selling, make the decision to sell

-Declutter and depersonalize your home

-Put excess furniture and household items into storage

-Clean your home top to bottom

-Fix any minor repairs, fresh paint jobs, plant flowers etc.

-Stage your home if necessary

-Increase your curb appeal by repaving your driveway, painting your front door, trim your hedges

This process can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks, or more.

Once all of these details are tended to, you need to hire the best Realtor to represent you.
Your Realtor will be your eyes and ears in the market and it is imperative that you select someone
who has your best interest at heart and who you get along with well.

Once you’ve selected a Realtor you trust, we will help you through the home selling (and buying) process.
Putting your home on the market, having an open house, advertising your home and holding your hand through
the process is what we are here for.

Selecting the right Realtor for you can take approximately 2 weeks as well.

Once your home is on the market, it could sell right away, or it could sit for a few weeks. These are all things
that need to be accounted for, especially if you are looking to buy a home to move into.

This could take anywhere from 1 day to 60 days, or more.

Once your home sells, the closing date is usually 30 – 60 days after the sale is final.

So yet another 60 days

If you account for all of the preparations above, if you were to decide to sell your home today,
your house could be going on the market by March 1st. Of course this can be done quicker, but
if you are thinking of selling your house in the “Spring Market” my advice is to start on the process ASAP.

People often make the mistake and wait until spring is upon us to list their home. This will delay any house
sales and the market is very saturated by spring that your competition will be fierce!

If you are thinking of selling your home, I am happy to represent you. Just a final reminder:
