Thinking of selling during the summer?
Yes summer can be fun and loaded with lot’s of distractions!
Family get togethers, road trips, bucket list trips, weddings and so much more!
Yet we get asked – What is the Advantage of Selling in Summer?
Put your flip flops, sun hat and sunscreen on and mull this over! The Summer selling season brings-
- Highly Motivated Buyers: Families with school-aged children are on a strict deadline. They want to buy, close, and move in before the new school year starts in September, making them eager to make serious offers quickly.
- Peak Curb Appeal: Lawns are green, flowers are in full bloom, and natural sunlight floods the interior of the home. Properties inherently look warmer, brighter, and more inviting in summer photography and open houses.
- Longer Daylight Hours: More hours of sunshine mean sellers can accommodate evening viewings after buyers finish work. This expands the daily window for showings and brings more foot traffic through the door.
- Easier Moving Logistics: Packing and moving in clear, warm weather is significantly more appealing than dealing with spring rain or winter snow. Buyers are more willing to jump into the market when the physical move is convenient.
- Accurate Pricing Data: Because spring is a high-volume sales season, summer sellers benefit from plenty of fresh, recent “comparable sales” (comps) in their neighborhood. This makes it easier to price the home accurately and confidently.
So before convincing yourself to only sell during the Spring…think again!
