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

"Russ Fortuno did an exceptional job from start to finish! Any time we had a question, he made us feel comfortable calling or emailing him and got us an answer immediately!"
- R.L., Palmer MI
"It’s hard to know where to start. Russ walked on water for us. He must memorize every listing the morning it lists. He knew exactly what we wanted and found our perfect house the morning it came on the market. We came from northern Washington and had already checked several other communities before deciding on this area, and Russ refined our search to meet our needs. Russ was prompt, quick to respond to our phone calls, always kept us in the loop, and just a pleasure to work with. He was on top of every detail and brought us to closing a day early. Yay Russ!"
- C. C., Sahuarita AZ
"I was so lucky to find Russ. It’s been a long time since I bought a home and working through the stacks of paperwork was daunting! I was so glad to have Russ “be there for me” and to guide me through each step. He was on top of every stage of the home buying process, knew the answers to all my questions and immediately responded (sometimes in minutes). Russ also has a bevy of wonderful local businesses to recommend and a comprehensive website that was exceedingly helpful! You are making a mistake if you don’t use Russ to help you purchase your home in Green Valley, he is A++++."
