Spring Sellers Have an Edge 🌷🕰️

Homeowners looking to sell usually want three things: plenty of interested buyers, strong offers, and a short timeline. Spring is the season that most often delivers all three.

So, if a move has been on your mind this year, this is the window where momentum tends to work in your favor. Here’s what makes this season so powerful for sellers.

1. More Buyers Will Be Looking - Historically, data coming out of ShowingTime proves Spring is when buyer activity peaks each year. 

2. You May Get More Offers - If we look at the data for the last three years from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and take the averages for each month, it’s clear sellers in the Spring get more offers.

3. Homes Usually Sell Faster - There’s one more predictable pattern that happens pretty much every Spring based on research from Realtor.com. On average, homes sell 20 days faster in the Spring compared to the Winter.
