Selling Your Home During The Winter Months

February 8, 2022 by Ellen Kirchdoerfer

Why should you consider selling your home during the winter months?

I understand your concern. It’s cold outside and we all want to stay inside. Because of that, buying or selling during the winter may be the last thing you want to think about.

Selling Your Home During The Winter Months

Here are 5 reasons why you should consider selling your home during the winter months:

  1. Inventory Is Low. Most sellers will wait until spring when the weather is nicer to list their homes. That means there are fewer homes on the market during the winter months. With fewer homes on the market, your home can receive more attention and possibly sell quicker than waiting for spring.
  2. Show Off Your Home’s Winter Features. Do you have a fireplace or hot tub you enjoy using during the winter? Maybe your home has a mud room which is the perfect place to shed those winter coats. Selling your home during the winter months gives you the opportunity to highlight these winter features.
  3. Real Estate Agents Are More Available. Since there are fewer homes on the market and fewer buyers looking for homes during the winter months, real estate agents have more time to dedicate to showing your home.
  4. Home Sells Close Quicker. Once again, there are normally fewer transactions going on during the winter months. This means that lenders, title companies, appraisers, and all the other vendors involved in a home transaction are more likely to be available to take care of you.
  5. Winter Offers Serious Buyers. Not everyone that looks at your home will be serious buyers. In the Spring, we are all looking for something to do and a chance to get outdoors. That’s not the case during the colder winter months. People that are willing to get out during the winter months are more likely to be serious buyers.

So there you have it. My 5 reasons why you should consider selling your home during the winter months.
