If You Will Sell Your Home This Spring You Should Be Planning For It Now


If You Will Sell Your Home This Spring You Should Be Planning For It Now
By Scott Rogers • January 20, 2022
A friend asked me yesterday if this is a busy time for real estate. It's busy - but not in the usual ways. It is not busy with showing lots of houses (there aren't many on the market) or with listing lots of houses (few sellers put their houses on the market in January) but it IS a busy time for planning. This January (as with most months of January) I'm spending much of my time meeting with homeowners who plan to sell their homes this Spring. Some are planning to put their house on the market on March 1, some March 15, some April 1 - you get the idea. We're making general plans about timing as it relates to their other preparations. The other items we are discussing and working on in January include... 1. Are you going to make any improvements inside or outside of your housing before getting it on the market in the spring? 2. What do you need to do as far as packing up, organizing, de-cluttering, cleaning, etc., to make your home show best to buyers? 3. Even though we'll look at the data again just prior to listing your home for sale, what does the current market data tell us as far as what price expectations are reasonable and what pricing strategy is advisable? So, if you are a homeowner who is thinking about selling this spring, now is the time to start planning for that big event. Feel free to email me or call/text me (540-578-0102) to set up a time to meet at your house and start developing a plan.
