Well, September flew by! Here we are in the last week, and it’s been super busy. Sellers didn’t seem to participate in the Spring selling season as much as they have in past years. Now it appears they are taking advantage of the Fall selling season to make a move before the end of the year. I have two homes for sale, and two homes with pending offers. And I’m working on two more homes that will be for sale by the end of the month. In some cases, the sellers and I have worked for months to prepare for the sale. Other sellers decided to sell quickly so I really have to hustle! That’s ok, though. I have a solution for any situation. If you’re thinking of selling this year or next, let’s talk about what’s involved, the timing of the market, and improvements that will help you get top dollar.
Slooooow Summer Sales
This summer most home sales were sluggish as confirmed by many agents I talked to. Buyers were waiting for rates to drop and have held off. This September we’ve seen an increase in buyers coming through open houses as their buying power just increased with the drop in the interest rates. Here’s a calculation showing a typical purchase:
You can see that with a lower interest rate a buyer can save almost $600 per month. Each person’s situation is different so check with a lender for actual numbers. For an idea of how September has been here’s a link to the latest Market Report.
