My New Blog

This is a question that could be talked about at length.  I'll try to keep it short. Many sellers and agents believe the best time to sell is in the Spring and Summer.  I won't debate that as we do know that seasonal highs are during that time period, but highs and best times are different.  Remember the question "Best Time To Sell".

After nearly a quarter century selling homes, yes I was quite young when I started... I have found in the Spring and Summer months you do have many buyers but you also have many sellers, making it difficult to find the serious buyers as well as the serious sellers.  From my experience, serious sellers and serious buyers have two things in common.  They happen to be in the market at the same time.  In other words, you have to be on the market to be in the market.

So back to the question "when is the best time to sell"?  Well here's your short answer. When the buyer is ready to buy and if I knew when that buyer would be, I certainly wouldn't be writing these blogs. So sellers, serious sellers, stay on the market, listen to the advice your agent gives, "that is of course if you have a good one", that is a whole other blog, but for you sellers who aren't really serious, do us all a favor and remove your home from the market.
