Spring is just around the corner. It is that time of the year when Georgia comes alive. The flowers are budding. Birds sing and the sun is bright. As spring starts to blossom, people will start thinking of selling their homes.If you are in the market to sell your home, we would like to offer you some information and tips on selling your home.

Here are the top three reasons for selling your home in the spring.

  1. Buyers want to get settled before the next school year. They will start looking in the spring as it may take them a few months to close and get acclimated to the new neighborhood.

  2. The weather is getting warmerand the days are longer — easier to move with the weather cooperating.

  3. More buyers mean more potential offers. There is nothing better than a seller having multiple offers. Spring is the time this will most likely occur.

Selling your home is a major decision, butonce you have decided to sell, you should get started now. Why?It will take you some time to get yourhome in tip-top condition. Once it is listed, we are averaging about two months to sell. You are looking at early summer to close (providing everything goes well). This is perfect timing.

The real estate market is holding its own in 2024. Plus, there is low inventory on single family homes.
