Making the Most of the New Year
The New Year is a great time to think about buying or selling a home!
January is almost upon us and with this comes a new feeling of excitement in not knowing what is going to happen in the New Year. While you may feel as if January would be an awful time to consider buying a home, this could actually be untrue. People are looking to make a change in the New Year and if you are wanting to sell your home, this could be the time. Why would January be a good time to put your home on the market?
Motivated Buyers
They have just come off of the holidays and are full of the promise that a New Year’s beginning brings with it. They are ready to buy, whether to move from a rental, to move to a new area, or upsize or downsize their home size. No matter what the reason, there is just something about January that motivates people, including buyers, to make changes.
Income Tax Refunds
Having a down payment is often a difficult thing, but near the end of January, many people find their bank account getting a little fatter with a refund from the IRS. This means that people who may not be able to afford a down payment during the year may have the money to do so in the first few months of the year. Having your home ready at a great price, and at its best, can be the key to selling your home and being able to meet your own housing and financial goals.
If you have been considering putting your home for sale, don’t let coming off of the holidays keep you from taking advantage of the New Year buyers. By preparing early and setting a fair price, you can get the motivated buyers interested in your home and get the sale that you are looking for to make your New Year the best one yet.
