Forget what you’ve heard about spring—winter is where home sellers can flourish! Today we’ll be going over six reasons why winter is a great time to sell your home:
 

1. Potential buyers tend to be more serious. In spring, you’ll find tire kickers and lookie-loos who are more interested in finding out what they should price their own homes for. When you list in the winter, people looking at homes are looking to buy. Your home will also stand out because there are fewer homes on the market in this season.
2. Parents have time to look. School’s in session and things have settled down. Parents have had time to think things through and begin looking for an upgraded home. They’re also wanting to avoid the competition of other buyers in spring.
3. Senior citizens want to downsize. They often want to list during the winter because there are fewer sellers, which ensures a better price for their homes.
4. There’s less competition. Because buyers are more serious and there are fewer houses on the market, your home is an immediate option.
5. Buyers have more money. After the first of the year, many buyers have more money due to bonuses and tax returns.
6. Employees are transferred and need homes. This is the time of year where corporations transfer employees, meaning these people need homes fast.
