It is common knowledge that a great number of homes sell during the spring buying season. For that reason, many homeowners hold off putting their homes on the market until then. The question is whether or not that is a good strategy this year.
The other listings that come out in the spring will represent increased competition to any seller. Do a greater number of homes actually come to the market during this season in comparison to the rest of the year? The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently revealed the months during which most people listed their homes for sale in 2018. This graphic shows the results:
The three months in the second quarter of the year (represented in red) are consistently the most popular months for sellers to list their homes on the market. Last year, the number of homes available for sale in January was 1,520,000.
With the national job situation improving and mortgage interest rates projected to rise later in the year, buyers are not waiting until the spring; they are out looking for homes right now.
If you are looking to sell this year, waiting until the spring to list your home means you will have the greatest competition amongst buyers. Beat the rush of housing inventory that will enter the market and list your home today!

"We contacted Julie after we had a horrible encounter with our previous agent ( he wanted to choose what he wanted for us and didn't want to contact certain agents because he didn't get along with them ) we are first time home buyers who were looking for a small starter home for our family. When I met Julie online I checked her reviews first, which of many were 5 star ratings. We clicked right away she understood our needs wants and budget and respectfully honored many of our wishes. She is upfront, honest and easy to communicate with. What I admired about her was that she worked around our time scheduales my husband and I work opposit shifts and she always made time and scheduled viewings in between. We worked with her for over 6 months and she never gave up. We found a home in our price range, near a school and in a wonderful community. I can't thank her enough for giving us the best home buying experience ever. She is a wonderful person and I will recommend her to EVERYONE."
