Should I sell my home in the fall?

One question I get asked frequently is "Should I sell my home now in the fall"?
As with every decision in life, there are pros and cons. Many factors need to be taken into consideration before deciding when to sell a home. Many homeowners believe selling a home during the fall or winter months is not a good idea and that they need to wait till spring. This is not true.
Here are several reasons why choosing to sell your home now may be a better decision than waiting until the spring:
~ Less Competition- In the Mancos, Colorado area, there are a shortage of homes for sale now. The fewer number of comparable homes for sale, the greater the probability that a buyer will look at your home and thus your probability of receiving an offer that is higher.
~Homebuyers are out there- Serious buyers look no matter what time of year it is. If you are waiting to list your home, you might be missing out on a buyer. Worried about moving in the winter? Snow doesn't start sticking on the ground here till Christmas time, so with our great fall weather is a great time to pack.
~Kids are back in school- Your house will stay cleaner and you have time to declutter!
~Beautiful Colors- Outside it's bursting with color and just a little staging will make your home look beautiful too.
~Mortgage Rates are low- With a 30 year fixed mortgage hovering around 3.75%, that is great news for buyers.
Fall is a great time to sell a home. If you would like to know what your home is worth, give me a call for a free market analysis 970-759-2540. I'm here to help!
