Changing Leaves, Changing Market
While spring and summer are typically the busiest seasons for real estate, people are moving at all times of the year. The fall selling season can actually work to the advantage of buyers and sellers. If buying or selling is in the cards for you this fall, read this first!
Less Competition
During the fall season, buyers may find that there is less competition from other buyers for the same home. The families who were focused on getting into a new home before the school season leave the market, putting hopeful homeowners in a better position to have their offer accepted.
Buyers Mean Business
Buyers in the fall tend to be more serious. They could be tired from looking for a home all summer, or in a rush to move before the freezing weather. Buyers during this season will be less likely to waste any time. This is great news for people wishing to sell their home fast!
Serious Sellers
Not every home on the market is the unsold inventory from summer. New construction goes on during the summer, so it’s possible that freshly built homes are just now ready to hit the market. Fall is also a time when people relocate for a job and are prepared to settle down.
You’ll Get the VIP Treatment
In the summer, moving companies, title companies, and other professionals you may work with during your transaction can get very busy and may not be able to give you top-notch service. During the fall, these professionals have more time available to focus on you!
Great Deals on Home Improvement Items
Tis’ the season of sales! Sellers can snag some great deals on items to make improvements to their homes before selling, and buyers can find discounts on new appliances or items to maintain their new residence.
