Should You Sell Your Metro Atlanta Home Now or Wait?
As the holiday season begins to heat up, many Metro Atlanta area homeowners are wondering if now is indeed the time to move forward with selling or if they should wait until the new year— or even until spring. Homeowners tend to think there can't be that many buyers out looking for homes during the holidays, dreaming of moving in the middle of November or December, and that a better deal will come along when the weather is warmer. But don't be too quick to adjust to that mindset!
You won't want to wait to sell your Metro Atlanta home as buyers are out right now! Data suggests your best deal as a Metro Atlanta home seller may be available right now, according to Keeping Current Matters. It's all a matter of supply and demand in the local real estate market and with fewer homes for sale than in past years, but no shortage of buyers, today's conditions are ideal for sellers. For this reason, our mantra continues to prove itself correct year after year— If it's priced well, and outshines the competition, it'll sell, no matter the season!
Lower inventory
It is evident that housing inventory is lower than it has been in the past and as a seller, not only does that mean you have less competition, but you could even spark a bidding war. With buyer demand still high and a small selection of properties for sale, buyers have less to choose from and may need to outbid each other to ensure they are their dream home's next owners!
High demand
A recent Foot Traffic survey from the National Association of Realtors suggests that there are more buyers out right now than there have been at any other time in the last year. For comparison, that also means there are more qualified buyers searching for properties right now than there were in the spring!
You may have thought spring was the best time to list your home, but this year is different! Now is an opportune time to sell your Metro Atlanta home and you may just find that the best deal is available during these busy holiday months!
