Spring: Is It Time to List Your Home for Sale?

By -

We’ve entered March which means Spring is among us! The real estate market at Lake of the Ozarks typically kicks off this time of year and if you’re ready to list your home, you’re right on time. As professional real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know that there can be benefits to selling your home at any time of the year, but today we’ve listed a few perks to selling your home at the Lake of the Ozarks in the spring to get you ready and ahead of the game this year!

Longer Days & Better Weather

With Spring comes more daylight and there’s a much better chance of selling your home when there’s plenty of time to look. With warmer days ahead, the opportunity to boost your home’s curb appeal starts now. We know that time is limited when making a first impression and that extends to selling your home, as well. Being able to take some time to brush up on your landscaping as the weather improves is ideal and there’s no better time to get ahead on this project than early Spring. The more effort you put into this aspect of preparing yourhome to sell at the Lake of the Ozarks, the better your chances are of selling your Lake of the Ozarks home quickly once it has officially been listed.

More Buyers & More Competition

Less competition doesn’t always mean a better shot of selling. The benefits of having competition in the market means you also get the benefits of having better comps in the area. This can reflect well on your home’s listing in MLS. Instead of finding homes that may not compare to yours at all, potential buyers will see your home listed among those that are similar and this allows for a more competitive listing price. Another perk to having some competition in the market is the potential of a bidding war on your home. While that might sound intimidating, it only means a higher sale could be coming your way!

Better Options for you as a Buyer

Chances are that if you’re selling your home you are probably looking to purchase one, too. This is an opportune time to add contingency clauses to the purchase of your new home, if so. Doing this as a homeowner who is trying to do both, buy and sell in the 2021 real estate market at the Lake of the Ozarks, can work in your favor depending on your situation. When preparing to list your home for sale, be sure to go ahead and check out competing homes in the area. This will allow you to find the best and most aggressive price point for yours. By doing this, you’ll also get ahead of things if you’re looking to buy a home since you’ve already been doing the research on what’s out there.

The real estate market certainly has it’s quirks this year, but there’s no doubt that planning ahead in the sale of your home is the way to go and that’s why selling in the Spring is ideal. As soon as you’re ready to get started, reach out to us at the Fran Campbell Team, we will be happy to assist you!
