Home Sellers, If You’ve Been Waiting For Spring…It’s Here!

OK, it's official. Clocks have been changed and all indicators point to the spring real estate market taking off. If you've been waiting for "spring" to list your home, consider this.

Housing inventory is low at the moment, which makes right now a great time to list.  Interest rates remain low, which continues to makes this a great time to buy.  Speculation about what the new year would bring in terms of changes to tax codes and deductions is behind us.  Buyers with children are already thinking about settling in this summer to give ample time for acclimating to a new neighborhood prior to the fall school year.  All things to consider when deciding whether it's time for you to jump into the spring market.

Average days on market for homes sold in Barrington in the month of February was 112.  This means that a house going on the market tomorrow might potentially see a closing date in July or August.   Consider these facts when timing your sale.  If your home needs some “spring cleaning” before it’s ready to make its’ debut, you can begin now with a thorough de-cluttering, followed by a professional interior cleaning and yard maintenance.   Finally, staging your home is important.  If you’re not sure how, seek the advice of a professional.  Happy spring!
