Timing does matter.

Most advice you’ll hear about selling will be different, but there’s one time of year that most experts believe you should avoid when it comes to listing a home: wintertime. It's just a fact, around the holiday season there are less people looking for new homes. And fewer buyers means less of a chance that your home will be one of the homes that sells.

Just like many experts will warn you against winter, springtime is commonly considered one of the best times of the year to sell a home as many buyers are ready for a fresh start, yards look lush and green, days are starting to get longer, and summer is approaching. So does that mean you should sell in the springtime? Possibly,  but be aware that other sellers are going to have the same idea. There will be competition in the form of more homes available on the market.

Did you know that even the day a home goes on the market can impact the sale? According to a couple of different studies, homes that were listed on Thursday or Friday have been found to sell in the shortest length of time for slightly higher prices than any other homes.

Timing isn’t everything.

Even if you think you’ve nailed the absolute best time to sell your home and you’ve done all you can repair-wise to maximize your chances, there’s one big mistake that could shoot all your efforts right in the foot: Pricing your home incorrectly when you first list it. It is a fact that the buyers who schedule showings within the first few days are the most interested and strongest prospects to purchase your home at top dollar SO don't blow your chance!
