Winter is here—is it still a great time to sell your home? During this time of year, we get this question a lot. Today, I’ll share why the December market is a great opportunity for sellers.

The reality is that houses do indeed sell during this period. For instance, last January witnessed 1805 closings, indicating that those houses were likely under contract in December, the preceding month. While this figure might be slightly below the average for the year, numerous homes still successfully sold.

If one opts to wait for the spring market to sell, they risk missing out on the fantastic opportunities that this season presents. Selling during this time translates to encountering less competition, and the buyers tend to be more serious and motivated. 

Presently, it remains an exceptional time to sell your home. If you have any inquiries about selling during the winter season, feel free to call, text, or email me anytime. I’m here continuously to assist and serve.
