5 Reasons why this could be the BEST time to list your home for sale. Each year as fall approaches and families get into the new school year with the holiday season just around the corner, the real estate market tends to go into a "seasonal" slow down. 

However, this can really become an opportunity time for the market savvy home seller. Here are my top 5 reasons why NOW is a great time to sell.

1.) Holidays bring with them a time of decoration and "warmth" that may not be present in your home during any other time of the year. What better way to present your home?

2.) With many folks removing their homes from the market during this time period it usually means fewer homes for the Seller to have to compete with, lower supply means higher prices for Sellers.

3.) For several home Buyers end of year bonus checks may add to their ability to have enough money in their reserves to make a move.

4.) Buyer activities during this time of year may be a little slower, however, experience has shown that the level of seriousness goes up as well, there are definitely fewer "tire kickers" at this time of year which means showings are more likely to turn into offers.

5.) Your plans are your own, if you HAVE to sell for reasons beyond just wanting to make a change, then your timing is already set. In the meantime, getting a contract to sell on almost any property could take some time, if you begin early you have a better chance of beating the "Spring Rush" when many homeowners wait to list their properties so you do not end up lost in the shuffle. The other upside is that once your home is under contract with a Buyer, you are ready to find a replacement just as an increased supply of homes begins to hit the market.
