When is the best time of year to sell your home?

Many people think that they should wait until spring, but there is some evidence to the contrary here in the Merrimack Valley.

First of all, from November 1st, 2016 through December 30th, 2016, 319 single-family houses sold in our market. From January 1st, 2016 through March 31st, 2016, 379 single-family homes were sold. That is a lot of home sales!

Over the Christmas weekend, 41 homes sold in seven days. My point is that we sell homes 365 days a year. People need to buy homes all year round, and motivated buyers prioritize their home search above everything else, including winter weather.

Homes sell all year round.

One thing to keep in mind is that, according to the National Association of Realtors, the average licensed real estate agent sells fewer than three properties a year. Our team sells three properties every three and a half days. That’s because we are fully committed to your success. We want to help you get the home of your dreams.

If you are thinking about putting your home on the market or if you have any other questions, give us a call or send us an email. My team and I would be happy to help you!
