Thinking about selling your house in 2024? While many home sellers wait until spring to put their property on the market, there are some distinct advantages to getting ahead of the curve this year and listing sooner rather than later.
Generally, the cold weather season causes home sales to be sluggish, but this winter is a bit different. High-interest rates kept much of America’s real estate market in a deep freeze for most of 2023. But now that rates have subsided a bit in the new year, there is a whole lot of pent-up demand (and supply) that could burst onto the market at any moment. Some of it is out there already.
When selling a home, timing can make a difference: Home prices rise and fall, similar to stocks. Head to market at the peak moment, and you can stack the deck in your favor and reap higher profits and better terms.
