5 Reasons Why Fall May Just Be The Best Time To Sell Your Home

Spring and summer tend to be known as the busiest time in real estate. However, many sellers overlook the potential the wonderful season fall provides when it comes to selling a home.  Fall is the perfect time to sell a home!   Here is why:

1. Limited Competition/Serious Buyers

By the time fall rolls around, the kids are back in school and summer home sellers have sold their home and moved into their dream home.  Most of the time that means fewer sellers jumping into the market, meaning there is less competition for you to go up against. Not only is there limited competition out there, buyers who are looking are serious ones.

2. Bring On The Holidays

Fall means that the holiday season is starting and many buyers are looking for a new home where they can celebrate with the family.  Homes also show really well during the holiday season.  List your house now before the full holiday season is in swing and buyers find it hard to find time to view homes.

3. End Of Year Tax Credits

Buyers who are on the fence tend to make the decision to buy before year end to take advantage of tax credits.  Not only are you benefiting from selling your home, but buyers are benefiting by closing before the end of the year and taking advantage of tax deductions such as, closing costs, mortgage interest, and property taxes.

4. Home Appliance Bargains

More than likely, if you are selling your home you are planning to buy a new one as well. Fall is a great time of year to score major bargains on home appliances. The month of December, according to Consumer Reports, is the best time of year to buy appliances such as dryers, washers, refrigerators, and stoves.
