Many times, sellers think it’s in their best interest to wait to list their homes until the spring market. In my opinion, this is a flawed approach.

We find that during the winter months, there’s typically less inventory for buyers to choose from. The buyers that are out looking for homes during this season tend to be more serious. Winter homebuyers who brave the elements to view homes aren’t usually tire-kickers; they need to buy a home—and fast.

In the wintertime, the number of showings a seller is liable to have for their listing will likely decrease, but the quality of those showings increases. Winter buyers might have a lease that’s near its end, and they’ve decided to make a purchase; they might also have sold their home and are looking to move up or they may have been relocated to the area for a job.
