Everyone is wondering what this year ahead will bring.
January 2019 was a busy month for me, and I’ve heard similar reports from colleagues. Several seller clients are getting their homes ready for market, and a few have made it onto the market – in advance of the Spring rush.
At an open house in Millersville, we had thirty-one sets of people through the home, and it sold with multiple offers in the first weekend.
Now with the cold weather and snowstorms, things have slowed down a bit. Sales, like snowflakes, come in flurries. People often want to time the market, and know when the next rush will come.
It’s important for sellers to realize that it’s good to have their properties on the market just as soon as they know they want to sell – that way, when buyers appear, their property can be discovered! (Don’t keep it a secret!)
