Whether you want to admit it or not, if you are in the baby boomer generation, your needs for a large property may no longer exist. If the kids have moved out and you are left with a large home, empty bedrooms, and a lot of upkeep, it may be time to downsize.
Q. Is winter a good or bad time to sell our current home and purchase a new home?
A. Overall, winter is a good time to sell or buy.For sellers, inventory can be scarce, leading to higher demand, which can result in multiple offers. Buyers are more intent, as they have less choices and typically have a serious need to move without delaying to warmer months.
Listing your home for sale, but second guessing if your personal décor might scare some potential buyers away? Depending on how unique or gender specific your taste is, this can happen. Though there are no hard-and-fast rules for what all buyers will like, like in window treatments or paint color, there are some things that tend to be turn-offs for men and for women.
Sure, it is easy to spruce up your yard to impress buying in the spring, but what about in the dead of winter when snow is covering everything? And going to view a home is easy when you are wearing three layers of clothes and navigating snow covered paths, right? But, there are several advantages for both sellers and buyers to entering the real estate market in winter.
If you have your home listed for sale, you probably are anticipating an excellent offer from a qualified buyer to come in any day now. Your Realtor may have made suggestions to you to help your home show better and spur buyer interest in your property. But, if you are like many homeowners, you may have chosen not heed their good advice.
