THE TIME TO SELL IS NOW!

Selling your home in the Charleston, WV. real estate market or Huntington,WV. real estate market during the fall and winter months is a great idea! Conventional thinking from the average seller may think otherwise but let us analyze why listing now, rather then later, could ensure a quick and painless sale. For one, every Tom, Dick and Sharon wants to wait until spring to put their house on the market which means your competition is going to be flooded. Sure, the logic is that buyers are coming out of their winter slumber and ready for a change but keep in mind that in our area there is a constant stream of buyers so there is always a need for a place to live. With that in mind, should you decide to list in the fall or winter then your home is going to be very fresh. The average listing period is 6 months so by the time fall or winter comes around, buyers have seen a lot of the homes that have been on the market for awhile and are ready to pounce on something new. This could lead to a very quick sale and most likely more money. How is that you ask? The longer your house sits on the market (with all the competition you would have if you listed in the spring) the lower the offers you are going to get on your property. So, if your ready to sell but thinking of waiting until spring, you might want to think again!
