Why You Should List in the Spring

Spring brings many changes in Ontario, snow melts, grass greens, birds chirp and For Sale signs go up on yards. Yes the beginning of Spring marks the unofficial start to the Real Estate season. Now I know there isn’t technically a Real Estate season, however it’s a known fact that the market slows up in the winter months and begins to heat back up come March, April, May. So let’s talk about why it would be a good idea to list your Home at this time of year. First of all spring weather brings the buyers for open houses and showings, not many people want to walk through a house while it’s cold. Also more people are willing to buy in the spring because it allows them to enjoy their new home during the summer. New families can have their kids ready to go for the upcoming school year in September. Finally the numbers suggest that more transactions happen during spring and that’s just the way it is. Listing in the spring market can be summarized by one basic concept, if you want the most amount of eyes on your property spring is your time to shine.
