It’s no secret sellers want to get the most money for their homes. When we’re talking to a seller who is considering selling, they always want to know “When is the best time to sell a home in Austin?” The answer is – it really depends on your situation. But, for this post, we’re going to look at two factors: when you plan to buy another home and when you don’t.
Best Time to Sell When You Need to Buy a Home
When you need to buy another home, its often best to sell during the best time to buy a home – winter. It’s true you may not get as much for your home during the slower winter months, however, what you don’t get on the selling end, you’ll make up for on the buying end.
Take Advantage of Market Forces Favoring Buyers in 2023
The end of 2023 has been one of the most favorable market climates for buyers that we have seen in years. Buyers are able to negotiate lower prices, seller paid closing costs, repairs and won’t have to offer free lease backs like virtually every buyer did in 2021. Buyers are also getting more time to make a decision, so they can adequately evaluate if a house will work for them before having any money at risk.
Best Time to Sell When You Don’t Need to Buy a Home
If you’ve already bought your next home, or if you don’t plan on buying another home, it’s best to wait until the busier spring months to sell. During the spring more buyers are out looking and more competition usually means more money. The more interest you can attract, the more chance you’ll have of multiple offers.
