Countdown the year and enjoy fireworks!
While many people understandably shy away from the housing market at this time of year, December may be a great time for you to sell your home. Here is why:
Take a look at our regional home sales report for October. Average home price increased for all areas and in Cincinnati, an October home sales record was reached! Mortgage interest rates remain low. With home values still on the rise and a low inventory of homes for sale, it is a great time to sell your home.
While people love to see their friends and family during the holiday season, stress is an all-too-common part of the festivities. Fortunately there are plenty of ways to reduce such stress – especially for those hosting holiday get togethers at their homes.
It’s important for homeowners to keep their homes in the best shape possible during the winter season and be prepared as potential listings for the spring. A little bit of work to winterize properties before colder weather really sets in can go a long way toward keeping a home in great shape.
Some buyers may be a bit frustrated they didn’t find the perfect home this summer thanks to the intense competition for homes, but they shouldn’t be discouraged. As some shoppers leave the real estate market, the odds that those who remain will find a home increases. Working with a real estate professional will help you find the home of your dreams with greater ease.
