Selling Your Rocklin Home?
Is Winter Really the Best Time to Sell Your Rocklin Home??
Selling your home isn’t easy regardless of the time of year you chose to do it.
There is a lot of work to be done, generally, as well as keeping the house clean for showings.
Typically, spring is the best time to sell a Rocklin home but if you must list in winter here is something to consider:
A lot of agents will tell you that winter is the best time to sell as there aren’t as many homes on the market and there is less competition for buyers. That statement begs the question as to how many buyers are in the market during the winter looking for homes in the first place?
During the Holidays?? Really??
During the winter is the middle of the school year which reduces the number of buyers in the market, generally speaking. I would advise against listing during the holidays unless you must. 
My thought is that there are fewer buyers during this time than any other time of the year. Makes sense, right?
All the pressure of the holidays, less than desirable weather AND moving or looking for a new home? What kind of insane person does that?? 🙂
When is the best time to list a Rocklin home during the winter? My feeling is the best time to list your home in the winter is the first week of January.
For wintertime, I believe this is the time when there are the most buyers and the least amount of homes for sale. The holidays are over and New Years resolutions have been set.
Most people wait until spring when the competition for buyers of a Rocklin home is much higher than right after the first of the year. This could result in it taking longer to sell than it should, depending on the initial listing price the seller chooses, and making the most money from the sale of the home.
Winter, especially during the holidays, is the season for investors. It’s their version of “Black Friday” shopping. Winter is when investors are out in force as 1) there is less competition for homes and 2) they might get a better deal on a home if there are fewer buyers making offers. This all changes after the first of the year, generally speaking.
