Think you missed the spring seller's market? Think again! summer is a great time to sell your house.
Seven Reasons Why Summer Is a Great Time to Sell Your House
It's a great time to sell in Minnesota! If your nest has emptied out or your family is growing, you may be thinking about selling your current home to find one that better fits your lifestyle. Here are seven reasons why summer is a great time to do so:
1. Outdoor Selling Points
Minnesotans enjoy spending time outside in the summer. If your backyard has outdoor features like a deck or patio and a spot for a grill, it's a great selling point. It's also easier to sell a lake home or house with a pool in the summer when people are craving the water!
2. School Is Out
Often, home buyers prefer moving before their children have to return to school in the fall. This is especially true when changing schools for children that need more time to prepare and adjust to the new area.
3. Sunny Skies
Summer is a good time for people to move in to a new home because the weather is generally more comfortable and accommodating for moving.
4. Summertime Curb Appeal
Your home looks better in the summer. Flowers are in bloom, and green grass is everywhere. Take advantage of the season by grooming your lawn, trimming bushes, and adding flowers to your front yard and outdoor spaces.
5. Move-In Ready Homes Are Hot!
Turnkey homes are VERY desirable. If your home is ready for a family to move in right away, you have the best chance at selling it quickly this summer.
6. Extra Cash on Hand
Many home buyers use the extra savings from their income tax refund to pay for some of the expenses involved with buying a new home, such as closing costs.
7. Rental Costs Are Up
Rental costs are increasing, and people are realizing that mortgage payments are frequently lower than rent, which gives them no return at all. Rising interest rates reduces home purchase affordability. If your home is in a price range that is competitive to rents, you have the biggest buyer pool!
