Curb appeal. With spring comes
lush grass and flowers in bloom,
allowing buyers to truly see your prop-
erty at its best, assuming you’ve taken
good care of that yard. If your lawn
looks great, your gardens are full of
color, and foliage has returned to your
trees, buyers are going to get a much
better impression than they’d get when
everything looks dry and sparse.
It’s easier to get your home ready-
to-sell. Just before you put your home
on the market, there will probably
be lots of things on your to-do list.
Many of those things are tough to do
in winter, from pruning the trees and
cleaning gutters to painting the fence.
When the sun is out and it’s getting
warmer, it’s much easier to accomplish
it all.
You can be choosier about your
buyers. If you’re having a hard time
with the idea of someone else living in
your home, spring is a good time for
picky sellers who want to have more
control over who will live there. You’ll
have a better chance of finding a buyer
that you know is going to treat your
home like you would, with plenty of
love and care.
A better closing date. If you sell
your home in the spring, you’ll get to
move when the weather is warmer, if
not during the season itself, most like-
ly in the summer. That’s a much better
time to move, with kids out of school
and the weather decent.
The CONS
The competition can be tough.
Because this is often the busiest sell-
ing season, you may face some tough
competition. That means you’ll have
to put in the extra effort to make sure
your place stands above the rest. Make
sure you’ve made any minor repairs
and that it’s properly maintained in
addition to staging your house in the
best possible light. It may be worth
hiring a staging expert as you could
reap more profit in the long run than
what you’ll pay for the service
Buyers can be pickier. If there are
more houses on the market in your
neighborhood, that means buyers have
more options so they may be pickier.
Keep in mind that those potential buy-
ers probably aren’t just looking at your
home, but multiple options.
