It's time to put your house on the market ASAP!
Here are five things you need to know about the Minnesota home selling season:
It starts in FEBRUARY. Yes, Minnesota spring selling starts in February. Buyers that are pent up inside are online planning their next move. If you wait until your grass is green to sell your house, you have missed the most eager buyers in MN.
Agents have the most time to game plan and strategize with you if you get to them BEFORE the spring rush of other sellers in March and April.
Meeting with an agent does NOT mean your house will be on the market the next day. Often, professional staging, photos, inspections, repairs and marketing will take 2-6 weeks before you start showing your home!
You can advertise your home as COMING SOON for up to three weeks before you need to start allowing people in for showings. This gives you time to do last minute repairs and get all those donations dropped off or picked up as well as make your plans for doggie-daycare and your own home shopping.
Yes, we hit a summer slowdown in real estate. People want to go enjoy the outdoor vs spend their time looking for a house. Buyers that are burnt out from spring chaos will take a break. The summer slow down can start as early as June...
So - call TODAY and start your spring moving plan!
