4 Major Incentives To Sell This Fall
If you're trying to decide when to sell your house, there may not be a better time
to list than right now. The ultimate sellers' market we're in today won't last
forever. If you’re thinking of making a move, here are four reasons to put your
house up for sale sooner rather than later.
1. Your House Will Likely Sell Quickly
According to the Realtors Confidence Index released by the National Association of
Realtors (NAR), homes continue to sell quickly – on average, they're selling in just
17 days.
As a seller, that's great news for you. Average days on market is a strong indicator of
buyer demand. And if homes are selling quickly, buyers have to be more decisive and
act fast to submit their offer before other buyers swoop in.
2. Buyers Are Willing To Compete for Your House
In addition to selling quickly, homes are receiving multiple offers. That same survey
shows sellers are seeing an average of 4.5 offers, and they’re competitive ones.
Realtor.com sums up the impact this can have:
“Buyers today know bidding wars are a likely outcome and they're coming
prepared with their best offer in hand. Receiving several offers on your house
means you can select the one that makes the most sense for your situation
and financial well-being.”
