Going in to Winter is not the most popular time to list your home FOR SALE, but it is not necessarily a bad time to list either, especially if everyone else is waiting until Spring. Your house, in move in condition and priced correctly, probably will be SOLD before the crocus poke their heads out of the snow.
I know you’ve heard National News commentators say how lousy the real estate market is, and even our local paper printed some Associated Press (National News) that said the market is less than desirable. But Real Estate is a LOCAL market and while the number of homes SOLD YTD is down slightly in Paducah, the listing price and sale price is up. The really good news is that BUYERS are out there and if you have a good credit score and a dependable job you can get an excellent interest rate now and move up to the home you’ve been dreaming of.
Some areas and some price ranges are shy on inventory of good homes, so if your home falls into one of these categories, NOW is the time to SELL. Call me or talk to a REALTOR® about how much competition there would be for your home if you put it on the market now. As I said before, the rules of supply and demand play a significant role in the health of a local real estate market. No matter what is said about the housing market nationally, it's the local picture that tells the tale in terms of the possibility of selling your home at any given time.
Hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
Karen Stone, REALTOR®
