    You Have 1 Week Left to List Your Home This Year

    So, you’ve been thinking about putting your home on the market, but the timing never seems right. We get it; life moves fast!...

    So, you’ve been thinking about putting your home on the market, but the timing never seems right. We get it; life moves fast! It’s already the beginning of November and the holidays will be here before you know it. Entertaining guests, traveling, and spending time with family during this season is stressful enough that you can't even fathom the thought of potential buyers walking all through your home, dealing with inspections, and negotiations. 

    So what do you do? Should you wait another few months after the holidays to list your home? No.

    In fact, according to Realtor.com, the average number of days on the market is 62 days (in Jamaica Plain, the average days on the market this time last was year was 45, and this year it's 61). That means the longer you put off listing your home, the longer the sale will take to wrap up after the holidays.

    Why Winter Is The Best Time To Sell

    Less Competition

    If you wait until spring to list like everyone else, there will be more competition. In the winter, there are fewer homes on the market, which will make your home stand out even more.

    Showcase Winter Readiness 

    You can also use winter to your advantage when showing off your home’s features like fireplaces and hot tubs by making it cozy and warm. Selling in the winter also demonstrates that your home can handle harsh winter conditions.

    Eliminate Looky-Loos

    As you know, just because someone is looking at homes for sale doesn't mean they're serious. If someone is taking the time out of their holiday break to see your home, chances are they're more intentional. Although you may see fewer potential buyers come through showings and open houses, most of them will be more serious contenders. 

    Higher Offers

    Since we are approaching the end of the year, performance reviews may bring more bonuses and financial freedom to a buyer's budget, which is excellent news for you, the seller.

     With all this being said, 62 days from November 10th is January 10th.  So, if you want to sell with all these advantages in mind during the winter,  you may want to speed up your decision to list your home. 

    It's Now Or Never.

    We know it may be scary, but if it's been on your mind for a while, now is the right time.

    Juan got his start in the residential real estate market in 1994 and has never looked back. His mission is to provide excellence to his clients, and he is always looking for ways to improve the real estate experience for his clients and colleagues in the industry. Early in his real estate career, he worked as the Housing Rehabilitation Director for a national non-profit organization, Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA). His goal was to gain more knowledge of the construction and renovation of existing homes in conjunction with working with 1st-time buyers. He effectively managed over 25 residential construction project managers on the East & West coasts while implementing procedures to improve communication between contractors, property owners, and banking representatives. He also developed resources, designed processes, and organized all aspects of real estate property acquisition and renovation. Juan completed a home inspector licensing course on his way to becoming a licensed home inspector. But after completing 30 inspections as an apprentice observer, after crawling under numerous porches and “crawl spaces,” he decided it wasn’t his cup of tea. Juan has always had a sharp eye for market trends and an innate understanding of what his clients need. That’s why, as a top real estate agent in Boston, he is constantly ahead of the curve, anticipating changes in the market and helping his clients manage their real estate goals. His keen intellect, quick wit, and tireless work ethic make him an invaluable partner for anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Boston area (or via his referral partners worldwide). Although Real Estate is a large part of his life, it is not the only part. He loves hanging out with family and friends, being in the kitchen, enjoying great food, anything Apple or Cole Haan, gadgets, great cigars, F1, motorcycles, photography, and traveling (to name a few). He lives with integrity and tries not to take life too seriously.
