Why This Winter Is the Sweet Spot for Selling

Thinking about selling your house? Here are a few reasons why you may want to do it this season.
Buyers looking right now are serious about moving and the number of homes for sale is typically lower this time of year – helping your house stand out.
While inventory is higher this year than it’s been in the last few winters, you’ll still be in this year’s sweet spot.

There’s a misconception Wall Street is buying all the homes on the market. But data proves that isn’t true.
Experts agree the share of homes bought by investors is declining – and most are smaller investors, like your neighbor who owns a second home, not Wall Street.
No matter what you’ve heard, the majority of homes are still being purchased by everyday homebuyers like you – not big investors. Connect with an agent if you have questions.

If you’re planning to list your house in 2025, it’s already time to start working on any repairs. But where do you start?
Your local agent will be able to help you prioritize projects that will help you get the best return on your investment and appeal to what today’s buyers really want.
If your goal is to sell your house next year, connect with an agent so you know what to start working on now.

If you’re torn between renting or buying, don’t forget to factor in the wealth-building power of homeownership.
Unlike renters, homeowners gain equity as they pay their mortgage and as home values rise. That’s why, on average, a homeowner’s net worth is nearly 40x higher than a renter’s.
Connect with an agent if you want to learn more about the financial benefits of homeownership or the programs that can help make buying possible.

The #1 task sellers struggle with is setting the right asking price for their house.
Without an agent’s help, you may set a price that turns away buyers and takes a long time to sell.
To make sure your house is priced right, connect with a local agent. Because if the price isn’t compelling, it’s not selling.

Even if you’re not looking to move right away, you may have questions about how the election will impact the housing market.
When we look at historical trends, combined with what’s happening right now, we can find your answers. Based on historical data, mortgage rates decrease in the months before and home prices and sales increase the year after the election.
The facts show Presidential elections only have a small and temporary impact on the housing market.
