Winter is a great time to sell!

Winter is a great time to sell!  Winter is known for many things, the least of which may be that it’s the best season to sell a home.  Granted, winter isn’t the most convenient time to move, but according to a study from real estate company Redfin, homes listed between December and March sell faster than homes listed in other months, and for more money.  (That’s been the case recent years, at least — the market changes often).  Redfin says that anytime between December and May is an ideal time to list your home — and February is the hands-down the best month.  The company’s analysis of nationwide listings from 2014 showed that 74 percent of homes listed in February sold within 90 days, and 13 percent of them sold for more than the list price.  (Compare that to September, when 61 percent of homes sold within 90 days and October, when just five percent sold above list price).  In short, shippers in January and February are motivated, They’re looking in winter because they need to move, not because they’re just looking for fun.  And if people are going to brave the cold to house hunt during winter, then they’re going to make their effort worthwhile.  If you are thinking of selling this year, MB Idaho Homes would welcome the opportunity to help sell your home.
