HI, IM CAROL KIRKSEY, AND TODAY I WANTED TO CLEAR UP THE MISCONCEPTION THAT THE SPRING IS THE BEST TIME TO SELL YOUR HOME.
MOST PEOPLE THINK OF SPRING AS APRIL THRU JUNE, AND ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE THAT IN MANY STATES WITH COLD WINTERS AND UNTRAVELABLE ROADS, APRIL IS THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS CAN COMFORTABLY SHOP FOR A HOME.
HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WE ENJOY GOOD HOME SHOPPING WEATHER YEAR ‘ROUND WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE INFREQUENT EL NIÑO YEARS.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING A MOVE AND WANT TO SELL IN A PEAK TIME, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER JANUARY-FEBRUARY. SELLING AT THAT TIME GETS YOU ON THE MARKET 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE THE SPRING COMPETITION RUSHES IN.
