Is It Time To Put Your House Back on the Market?

If you took your house off the market in late 2024, you weren’t alone. In December, nearly 73,000 homes were pulled from the market—the highest number for any December since 2017.

Now, with spring approaching, it’s time to reassess. Buyer activity is picking up, and waiting longer could mean facing more competition from other sellers.

Why Now Could Be the Right Time

📈 Spring = Peak Buyer Demand – Warmer weather brings more homebuyers who want to move by summer.
💰 Mortgage Rates Are Lower – While not drastically different, recent drops are already encouraging buyers to get back in the market.

What To Do Differently This Time

🔍 Check Your Listing Status – If your agreement is still active, reconnect with your agent to explore new strategies.
📊 Adjust Your Pricing Strategy – Was your home priced too high? Competitive pricing can bring multiple offers.
📸 Enhance Your Marketing – Fresh spring photos, staging, and better listing descriptions can attract more buyers.
🎁 Consider Offering Incentives – More sellers are open to concessions to close the deal.
📅 Be Flexible with Showings – The easier it is for buyers to see your home, the higher the chances of getting offers.

Bottom Line

Spring gives you a fresh opportunity to sell your home. If your house didn’t sell last year, now’s the perfect time to come back with a strong plan. Talk to an agent and make this your time to sell!

Finding ways to make your credit score better could help you get a lower mortgage rate. When you’re ready to get the process started, let’s connect.
