Today I am going to share five of these with you.1. Buyers are often more serious in the fall. During the spring and summer, many buyers are more curious than committed. Fall buyers, meanwhile, are more serious and can suffer from having too many homes to choose from which makes them feel like they can be pickier and extend their search. This is because many have been searching throughout the summer and still have yet to find the perfect home. Fall buyers are forced to look for a home because of a new job, relocation, or because they need to before the holidays.2. There is less competition. It is no secret that there are more homes listed in the spring and summer and that more buyers are looking at that time as well. However, with the larger number of homes to compete with, sellers in the spring and summer do not have a clear advantage. Also, the homes that are not sold by the end of the summer are often delisted by the unrealistic sellers who wanted to test the market. This is why, if you list in the fall, you can have the benefit of standing out as well as facing less competition than during the “hotter seasons.” The most important thing to remember is it only takes one buyer to buy your home.3. It is easier to move up. If you are looking to buy a new home as well as sell your current home, then fall offers the best opportunity. You will enter the market with higher confidence and lower stress while sellers who were unsuccessful during the summer months will remain on the market desperate to sell. This will help negotiations work in your favor. The most important thing to remember is it only takes one buyer to buy your home. ”4. Different buyer demographics. While married couples and families often move early, millennials and those with kids who moved to college oftentimes wait until the fall. Employers also tend to wait until the fall to do their corporate relocations. Meanwhile, some buyers that do have the flexibility choose to wait to avoid the busy spring and summer markets.5. You still have time to make those improvements. You will have time to finish all the little things you want to do before listing in the fall.While you may be concerned that you have missed your chance, the truth is that now is a great time to sell. As long as you're positioned well for the market, you may see a very positive response from what are often motivated buyers.If you have any questions about this or are interested in buying or selling, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
