Is Summer a good time to sell your home?
Summer can be a tricky time to sell, your success will largely depend on what type of property you’re listing.
Disappearing home buyers
There are two types of buyers who tend to disappear in the summer—families seeking single-family homes and luxury buyers who typically seek high-end condos and houses. So July and August are typically not going to be your best bet this year if your property falls into those categories.
Good News for Boston condo sellers
However, buyers for smaller Boston condos, or one- and two-bedrooms tend to be around in the summer months. So listing these types of properties now may be a better bet than waiting for the inevitable post-Labor Day inventory onslaught. You won’t be competing with as many other properties and the buyers out there will probably be ready to write offers.
But before you move ahead with listing in July or August, have your real estate agent do a market check to make sure you’ll be able to compete against existing inventory within your specific property category.
