California has always been blessed with good weather but Spring in California is especially a great time, with the weather generally warm and sunny minus the blistering heat of the summer season. And with the good weather, flowers are on full display, and all things are green and beautiful, California comes alive. And aside from nature being at its finest, the real estate market is also in full bloom during Spring. The hottest season to sell is here. If you’re thinking of selling, there is no best time but NOW.
Here are the Top 5 Reasons Why Spring is the best time to sell your home
1. Timing
After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and the cold winter weather, people welcome Spring with excitement and is the time serious buyers start looking for a home. As most buyers want to get settled into a new home before the school year starts. If you put your home on the market early enough in the spring, you will enjoy the benefits of a huge pool of buyers without the panic or urgency of buyers looking for a quick sale.
2. Better Curb Appeal
Your home looks best in the Spring, especially if you have a yard with flowers and green grass which your buyers can't help fall in love with. Preparing your home for selling in Spring is definitely easier than selling in Winter or under the blistering Summer heat.
3. Higher Prices
More Buyers means more chances for bidding wars! And more chances for more closed sales! With more people in the market, there are more chances to get close to the asking price of your home. With numerous offers coming in, springtime sellers can be a bit more choosy about who they sell their home to, which enables them to stay firm with their listing price. Waiting a couple months for spring could help you secure thousands more on the offer.
4. Longer Days
Just the simple fact that Spring has longer hours and more hours of daylight means more potential buyers can view your home during the day - another great reason for selling this Spring! That definitely boosts your target market for your property and increases your odds of landing a desirable offer.
5. Lesser Days on Market
Not only do houses sell at a higher price during Spring, they also sell much quicker. It's a case of supply and demand, as desired houses get snapped up, the supply goes down while the demand (and rush to close a deal before Summer starts) rises.
