Have you ever wondered when the best time to sell your home is? Housing experts have, and they’ve got the exact month and day down to a science.

What’s the answer?

Supposedly, there are a few days in May and June each year where you can secure the best deal on your home. But guess what? There’s really no bad time to sell your home in our particular market.

May and June have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean your opportunity to capture a high sale price on your home has! Our summer market is teeming with activity as buyers are looking to get into a home before school starts up again.

Right before the school year kicks off, we tend to enter into a short cooling period. However, from fall until shortly before Christmas, activity picks up again. And the week of Christmas? It’s almost just as busy!

Actually, January marks the start of the spring selling season.

I would say that the absolute best time of year to get your home on the market, if there is one, is the springtime. Now, most people assume that spring isn’t officially underway until around March, so they hold off until selling until then. Actually, January marks the start of the spring selling season.         

In our market, the week before school starts and the week after it ends for summer break are the only two times you might want to think twice about getting your home on the market. Otherwise, any time is a good time in our Chattanooga/North Georgia market.

If you’d like for us to share some tips and tricks with you for getting your home primed for the market, send me an email at Charlotte@CharlotteMabryTeam.com or give me a call at 423-593-5588. I hope to hear from you soon!
