Search all homes for sale on the MLS This time of year, I get the same question from a number of potential sellers: “Should I sell my home in the fall?” My answer is absolutely yes. Fall is a great time to sell, and there are three main reasons why you should put your home on the market now. 1. You will face less competition as a seller in the fall. Why? Most people think that spring is a great time to sell your home, and it is. Still, when your home is on the market and five neighboring homes are on the market, there is more supply and less demand. If there are only two buyers looking in your neighborhood, then only two of those five homes might sell. In the fall, you might be the only one on the market in your neighborhood, so you only need to find one buyer to make that transaction happen. 2. Buyers are more serious in the fall. These buyers have come out of the summer market without finding a home and most of them are looking to get into a new home before the holidays. These buyers are highly motivated people who want to get settled as soon as possible. 3. Interest rates are still phenomenally low this fall. Low interest rates mean buyers still have a lot of purchasing power. We don’t know what will happen with interest rates after the election, so most buyers will want to take advantage of those rates now, which is good news for home sellers. “ Buyers are more serious about getting into a home in the fall. ” As you can see, putting your home on the market in the fall comes with many advantages.
