Happy June everyone!
It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day is already behind us, and that the 4th of July is just around the corner. Yet if you’re thinking about putting your home on the market amidst all the summer fun, it’s natural for you to want to get the best price possible.
No one wants to leave money on the table.
On one hand, if you price your home too low, you could stand to lose thousands of dollars on the sale. On the other hand, if you price it too high, it may sit on the market for months on end.
The downsides of the latter are twofold.
First, buyers tend to view homes that have been sitting on the market for too long as having one or more major problems. Lots of people want to live in Southwest Florida, and homes that are desirable should, in theory, move fast.
Second, should this happen, the seller may be forced to reduce the price to get things moving. In some cases, it may need to be repriced at a point that’s lower than market value.
What we’re currently seeing in the marketplace, is that many sellers aren’t being realistic as to what their property will net. If the real estate market were in an upswing, pricing a home a bit higher would make sense. Today, however, there’s an abundance of new construction that’s placing downward pressure on traditional resales.
If you’re wanting to sell your home but you’re worried that nothing moves during the summer months, the good news is that the data shows otherwise. Home sales in SWFL take place all year round.
The bottom line is this: any time of the year is a good time to sell in SWFL, provided your home is priced right.
