1. Inventory is lower. Summer is the peak season for real estate. But selling in the peak season means that your competition is higher therefore your home and its price must be very competitive with the others. In the fall when inventory is lower you have the advantage of low competition.
Listing in the Fal
There are many reasons for this:
Cooler temperatures, falling leaves, football games and homes for sale! Many home sellers fall into the mindset that if they didn’t sell in the summer they need to wait until next spring to sell. That could not be further from the truth! Listing your home in the fall can be a huge asset to you as a home seller.
3. Many purchasers fnd that the fall is a better time to dedicate time to their home search. Summer is busy with kids at home, traveling and enjoying a looser schedule. In the fall everything tends to go back to normal. We live our lives in more of a routine way. This routine provides many home buyers with the time and energy to devote to their home search.
2. Fall in Auburn/Opelika is an exciting time! Our little towns fll beyond capacity on football weekends. The population more than doubles with fans. These folks are coming from all over the country to the Plains and enjoying all our area has to offer. They are falling in love all over again with Auburn/Opelika and they are looking at real estate! Don’t miss out on marketing your home to potential buyers on game day weekends!

4. Fall in Auburn/Opelika is BEAUTIFUL! The oppressive summer heat is giving way to fall breezes and cooler temperatures. Everyone is looking for reasons to get outside and enjoy. For many this means stopping by open houses and exploring what the local housing market has to offer them. So, brush away those summer spider webs, buy some mums and call your realtor! We can guide you to successful selling this fall. And if you don’t have a realtor, you can always call me! 334.704.4442 • jessica.andrus.realtor@gmail.com
