Fall Home Buying & Selling: A Good Idea?


South of Broad Street, Charleston, South Carolina.

 

Is fall a good time to sell or buy a home? This is a common question we hear, and it’s often fueled by a common misconception.


It’s true that home sales pick up in the spring and summer. They also tend to calm a bit in the fall and winter, but that doesn’t mean buying or selling a home in the final months of the year will have a negative outcome. In fact, fall and winter might be ideal timing.


There’s never really a BAD time to buy or sell a home. In this market, there’s always demand for quality, well-maintained homes that are priced well—especially in the greater Charleston area. (We’re just too popular.😁)


So while home buyers tend to slow down their home searches in the fall and winter months—many home sellers wait to list their homes as well.


This can bring a bit of balance to the housing market—only the serious are buying or selling homes after schools start back and the holidays are looming.


And there are a couple of key advantages….


For home buyers, this can mean fewer people competing to buy the home you love.


For home sellers, it means fewer looky-loos and tire kickers. It also means fewer listings to compete with.


Yes, there are a few “different” things to consider when buying or selling a home in the fall and winter months. But this is easily navigated by an experienced agent prepared to guide you through the process and get creative with the marketing.
