Winter is here!
Typically, winter comes with a significant downturn in activity with the Real Estate market.
Winter provides a huge opportunity for sellers’ and it needs to be talked about more. Here are the top 3 reasons why you need to consider selling your home this Winter.
1. Less competition
Low inventory has been a huge problem in the Edmonton Real Estate market this year. That problem is about to get significantly worse.
That means that there is going to be way less competition for your house in the winter market. Less competition leads to a higher probability of selling your house, first and foremost, but it can also help you in your negotiations.
2. Serious Buyers
Let’s be serious for a second. Winter isn’t everyone’s favorite season. It’s cold, it’s snowy, and the roads can be absolutely brutal.
If someone is coming to look at your house in the middle of winter you can be sure of two things. They are seriously buying a house, and they are seriously considering your house before they even set foot in it.
3. Winter Readiness
Assuming that your house is well maintained, what better way to show off your home than on a cold winter day? Buyers’ can see that there are no cold spots or drafts, the windows are sealed properly, and this house can handle winter with ease. Do you have a fireplace? Leave it on for showings to enhance the experience.
Many people think that they should wait until the spring market to sell their homes. There are so many good reasons why you should consider skipping the wait.
Feel free to touch base if you have any questions.
