When I got into the real estate business in 2005, I was told that spring is always the best time to sell a home. I was skeptical, but I took a look at the numbers and it’s true.

This is what I found: Between January and June of every year for the last 60 years, 75% of all the inventory available was sold.

That’s ¾ of homes selling in the first six months of the year. This could be happening for a number of reasons:

• Corporate and military relocations happen in the spring
• Home values rise in the spring

• Families tend to move at this time before summer break
• Curb appeal peaks during the spring
• Tax season brings tax returns, which are used for down payments on homes

There are many more reasons why people come out and buy during the spring. Some are simple reasons like the weather is just better, but other reasons are more complicated. Either way, it’s a fact that the springtime is the best time to buy or sell a home.

We expect a really excellent market to take shape this year, so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to buy or sell a home.

I look forward to hearing from you!
