Thinking of Selling Your Home in The Fall or Winter?

Many times, people think that the best time to sell their Costa Mesa Real Estate is during the Summer. Would you ever consider selling your home in the fall or in the winter? If you are thinking about selling in Costa Mesa right now, the time to start your investigations is now. Generally over the last 10 years the trends have told us that homes placed on the market in the spring season seem to do the best.

 

Why? Hard to gage it, but there are a few ideas I have. Coming off of the long summer selling season in Costa Mesa Real Estate, many homes will sell in the late summer to early fall (August-October). It generally gets pretty quiet over the holidays in November and December, and if homeowners have been on the market for a long period up until the holidays, many will give up trying thus significantly reducing the available inventory in Costa Mesa.

 

Some homes will go on the market in January, but not many. A few more will appear in February, and still a few more in March. As we get into the April-June timeframe, there is a significant spike in inventory of Costa Mesa If your home is ready to sell, one of the best times to sell is in the late winter prior to the rush of all the other homes coming on the market. Why? More competition for potentially the same kind of home. Why not be out there by yourself and try to get as much money for your home?

 

I have had great success with this strategy with locally when I have sold homes for top dollar, like this recent past post, which was the highest sale in the Balearic neighborhood of Mesa Verde last year by price/sq. ft. And yes, we had competition for the home with multiple offers.
