Will You Take Your House Off The Market This Winter?
By Scott Rogers • November 30, 2020 Filed In: selling
In some ways, NO, you should NOT take your house off the market -- because inventory levels are very low. And yet, still, some sellers will still -- quite reasonably -- take their homes off the market for the winter. Our local MLS requires a house to be off the market for 90 days before the "Cumulative Days on Market" statistic resets. So, if you take your house off the market tomorrow, you could put it back on the market during the first week of March and have that statistic reset. During these 90-ish days of being off the market, we will want to talk about price, condition and marketing.... Let's meet to chat about the value of your house in the current market so that we can be priced well for the Spring market (pending any changes in the market between now and then). Let's walk through your house together to determine if there are any small (or large) projects you could be taking care of during "the off season" to have your house shine when it comes back on the market in the Spring. Let's review our marketing plans to make sure we have a strategy in place for exposing your property to the broadest possible pool of potential buyers. Again -- you might be JUST FINE leaving your house on the market over the Winter, as there are SO FEW homes for sale right now -- but if you choose to take it off the market for a few months, now or soon is a fine time to do so.
