As summer drifts to a close and kids once again board the
yellow bus, we turn our attention towards a new season. September is upon us, but what does that mean
for the real estate market? Is the prime
selling season over? What will the rest
of the year look like in real estate?
These are just a few of the questions I have been hearing over the last
few days… so let us discuss them!
Just because school starts, that does not mean the real
estate market will stop! Actually,
September and October are the second busiest buying months of the year, outside
of the spring market. Although many are
motivated to get their kids into the right schools prior to the academic year
beginning, you will find that the holiday season and change of weather are
equally motivating, and sometimes even more so!
People move for all different reasons: families growing,
kids leaving for college, job relocations, sickness, divorce, retirement,
estate, to only name a few. Actually, a
very small percentage of the buyers are trying to time their move around the
school start.
With all that being said, please keep in mind that going
into the fall season we need to make sure that your home is the most
attractive home in your price range in both price and staging. REMEMBER, every house is in a beauty
competition AND a pricing war!
Your Realtor,
