Selling your home in the fall actually comes with a lot of benefits.
Sometimes, it really pays to go against the crowd. As you probably know, spring is the season when most people around the New Jersey commuter towns put their homes on the market.
Summer is the high season, and it’s when most homes get sold. However, there are a few powerful reasons why fall might actually be a better time than either spring or summer to sell your home.
Home buyers in the fall are more serious. They have been looking at listings for months, and they are eager to conclude their search and move in comfortably before the holidays. Additionally, many spring and summer listings have come off the market, giving you less competition, and making the newness of your listing very attractive.
Home buyers in the fall are more serious.
Now, if you are thinking of selling your home this fall, there are a few things you have to do differently. First, you have to prepare your home to account for the particular fall conditions.
For example, you need to check the HVAC system and replace your furnace filter so your home will be warm and smell fresh. Also, make sure to turn on all the lights; you've got to compensate for the shorter, cloudier days. Make sure your gutters are free of leaves and the landscaping is tidy.
It’s a slightly different season, but I can assure you that it’s a great time to sell your house. If you’re thinking about selling this fall, or you have any questions at all about our market, give me a call or send me an email. I’d love to help you out in any way that I can.
