The data has spoken, and if you're planning to sell, the countdown is on!
According to Zillow:
If you want to sell quickly - list mid-March.
If you want to sell for max profit - shoot for late April.
(And if you're the over-achiever type, list on a Thursday - the best day of the week for a listing to go live.)
But any time of year can be a great time! There is no need to wait around if you want to sell now!
With that in mind, here's a rundown of what you need to knock out between now and then to prep your home for the market (with an estimate of how long each step takes).
- Schedule a seller consult with the Laura Smith Real Estate Team: 1 week
- Meet with Laura Smith to set a listing price and schedule listing photos: 3 to 5 days
- Make suggested repairs, declutter, and stage before photos: Varies on home
- List your home on the MLS: 1-2 days (when photos are returned)
- Wait for an offer: 51 days. (average days on market, October 2022)
- Negotiate: 3-5 days
- Prepare for inspection and appraisal: 5 days or less for inspection, 3 weeks for appraisal
- Close on your home: 1 day
You can sell your home in as little as 8-10 weeks, depending on how quickly you receive an offer. Want help or have questions about selling? Call or Text us today at (903) 251-3390!
