Why Is Winter a Great Time to Sell a House?




Every year I'm asked whether the wintertime is a good time to sell a house. It's actually a great time, for a few different reasons you may have never considered.

There are many great Anchorage area homes for sale. Click here to perform a full home search, or if you're thinking of selling your home, click here for a FREE Home Price Evaluation so you know what buyers will pay for your home in today's market.

Every winter, sellers ask me whether they should sell their house now or wait until spring. 

There are two different schools of thought for this scenario. Typically, what we see in the Alaska market is that you have far less competition in the winter than you would in the summertime. Sure, the number of homes that sell in the summer is higher, but there is much higher inventory that you would have to compete against. 

In the winter, there is less inventory for buyers to choose from, which typically keeps pricing pretty stable. You have to think about the possible outcomes and balance it out with your lifestyle and what works for your family. If you sell during the winter, though, you will have a lot more serious buyers than you typically do in the summer. 

In the summer, you tend to get a lot more 'looky-loos' who are out looking just as a hobby. Believe me, nobody is out there in 20-below weather in the winter dragging their kids in and out of homes just to look at them for the fun of it.

If you're thinking of selling this winter or you have any other questions about the real estate market in Alaska, give me a call or send me an email today. I look forward to hearing from you!
