Realtors this time of year hear the same phrase over and over: “I want to wait till spring.”
However, it is actually a mistake to wait for the market to heat up in the spring. Why? Because that is what everyone does.
The buyers come out in January, especially when we had a relatively warm January like this year. Every year the inventory of houses for sale increases dramatically from April to July. When a seller puts their house on in February or March, the inventory has not started to rise yet.
Less inventory means less competition. Less competition means a higher chance of selling at a higher price.
