It's fall! That means holiday fun, giving thanks, and warm nights sitting next to the fire (or spaceheater). It could also include hibernating for the winter and daydreaming of your new home while you endlessly pin dream homes on Pinterest. I'm also a dreamer and pinner, and more than that, I'm a doer–I make dreams happen! So if you're dreaming about selling your house this winter or spring so you can get your dream home, I'm telling you to take photos now! The fall is the perfect time to take photos of your home; with clear blue skies and trees full of vibrant fall foliage, your home exterior will look beautiful and its best.
To truly make your home shine on the market you don't want to wait to take photos until the heart of winter with its grey skies and bare branches. Taking photos in the fall will ensure that when you present your home on the market in the winter or spring, it will stand out.
Some say that the fall home-selling season is like the college football season—they both end around Thanksgiving with a quieter postseason that continues long afterwards. And while it's true that spring is usually the busiest time of year in real estate, now that mobile has taken over and people are always looking for the perfect home, you don't necessarily have to wait until spring to put your house on the market. Buyers are out there and they seem to be approaching the market optimistically. While there are fewer buyers in the winter marketplace, they're serious buyers.
Think about it: why would buyers be in the real estate market now if they didn't have a sense of urgency to buy? Especially now in Montgomery County where supply of home inventory is low and buyer demand is high, there's a shortage of homes. That means competition amongst buyers is tough. More importantly, that means it's a seller's market and you as a seller have the leverage. Before buyers and sellers flood the spring marketplace, consider getting a headstart and getting to your goals sooner. If you're determined to sell your home but want to enjoy the holidays at home, preparing now with your agent will ensure that when the time is right for you, you will be able sell and sell fast!
