If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, Spring is certainly the time to act. It’s the peak season for the real estate industry, and with good reason.

There are some practical factors – with tax time just gone, prospective buyers have sorted out their paperwork. Knowing where they stand financially, they are ready to make loan applications and may have even started the process in preparation for buying.

Those who have been looking for a new home get serious in spring, keen to get settled in before Christmas. The good weather also brings out uncommitted buyers, and walking into your well-presented home might be just what they need to move from ‘just seeing what’s out there’ to ‘mustn’t miss out on this home’. Rather than creating competition, having more properties on the market gives buyers more reasons to get to open homes and inspections.

Nobody goes through the hassle of moving home without good reason. Homebuyers are looking to improve their lives by creating a new home that allows them to live their dreams. The warm sunshine and fresh air of spring brings with it a sense of optimism and people are more ready to seize opportunities for growth and change. For some, that’s a bigger home for their growing family. For others, it’s moving out of the family home and seeking independence, while retirees look to enjoy life and downsize their home maintenance commitment. Even investors can catch the mood and seek to begin or expand their property portfolios.

The trees are already beginning to bloom so now is the time to seize your own opportunities. Call the sales staff at Fitzpatricks and arrange an appraisal of your home. You’ll be amazed at how easy the process can be with a professional sales team taking care of the details.
