Now or Later? When is the best time to sell for you?

September 9, 2019

Now or Later?  When is the best time to sell for you?

When it comes to selling your home, you want to make sure you list and sell at the right time. But the “right time” can vary from person to person. What might be the perfect time for your neighbor or friend to sell might be too early — or too late — for you.

So how, exactly, do you know the best time to sell for you? In a recent video, the team at Realtor.com explained five key factors to consider when determining the best time to sell, including:

  • Getting ahead of the competition. While many home sellers in Green Valley think January through March is the best time to sell, listing your home from in the Summer and Fall can help you get ahead of the competition — and help your home stand out to buyers. And, since the best time to sell in other parts of the country is usually Spring and Summer, many buyers relocating from cooler climates are typically shopping for homes here during the Summer months.
  • Your local market. Obviously, there are national trends in the real estate market that you want to pay attention to — but not all areas follow those national trends. Before you decide to list your home, make sure you dig deep into what’s going on with the local Green Valley market, and how those conditions might impact your home sale.
  • Mortgage rate trends. When mortgage rates drop, more buyers hit the market. So keeping an eye on interest rates can help you anticipate when more people might be looking to buy, and you can use that information to determine the best time to sell.
  • The condition of your home. Making minor repairs before you list your home can make a huge difference on how fast (and how profitably) you sell. So before you list your home, make sure to take stock of any potential issues and make any necessary repairs.
  • Personal preparedness. The only person who can determine the best time to sell your home is YOU—so before you put your home on the market, make sure you’re ready and it’s an ideal time in your life for you to make a move.

The Takeaway:

When it comes to sell your home, there’s no right or wrong answers or “perfect” time to sell. But these factors can help you determine the best time to sell for you, your family, your home, and your life.

TESTIMONIALS

"From start to finish, Russ Fortuno was “a class act.” It started with his online Home Buyer’s Guide which was helpful to me, a first-time, out-of-state buyer. His new listing email notifications were timely and helped me get familiar with the Green Valley properties that fit my budget. Then when I was ready to buy, he represented me as a buyer’s agent. He professionally led me through the entire process with great knowledge of the available properties, as well as the subsequent offer and purchasing process. I found Russ to be very clear and direct. He went above and beyond what I expected. Even after the closing, he arranged the removal of some unwanted furniture and helped me identify cleaning and painting services in the area, something few other agents would do. I would highly recommend his services to anyone without reservation!"
- E.D., Green Valley, AZ
"Russ Fortuno not only made our Green Valley AZ home purchase happen, he made it easy. We live in Eastern Washington and wanted to buy a vacation home in Green Valley but were apprehensive about buying a property without physically seeing it. Russ made the process easy. He supplied us with walk-through videos of every property we showed interest in, paying special attention to any issues the property might have. By the time we actually saw the property we were purchasing, we felt like we had been there a number of times. Russ walked us through the buying process from beginning to end! We highly recommend Russ and will use him for all or our real estate needs."
- D.W., Chattaroy, WA
"Russ was always very responsive and returned calls in timely manner. Was extremely Calm and rational when going gets jiggy. Keeps any drama from becoming dramatic. His experience in executive management is an asset when dealing with the variety of challenges related to closing the sale. I Highly recommend him to handle complicated transactions. "
