When is the best time to sell a home in 2018 in central Ohio?

Right Now is the Best Time to Sell a Home in the Central Ohio Area

The supply of homes for sale in central Ohio is currently at 1.2 months, which is a near record low. What does this mean? If everyone currently looking for a home purchased one, and no more came on the market, they would all be sold in 1.2 months.

Fewer Supply is Opportunity to Sell

Real estate is subject to Supply & Demand. When there is less supply and demand is strong, prices go up. This is exactly what we are seeing throughout central Ohio. In 2017 the average home price when up 6.6% and in 2018 we do not see this changing. Throughout central Ohio we are in a Seller’s Market.

Before More Homes Come on the Market

When there are more homes on the market, Buyers have more to choose from. If homes are similar to your home and similar in price, then people might prefer the other home over yours and bid on the other home. We want them bidding on your home and driving up your price. It is better for a Seller to have fewer homes like theirs for Buyers to choose from.

Experienced Representation

In real estate, experience makes a difference! A home is often a person's largest financial investment. Do you want someone with little experience negotiating and working on your high dollar investment or would you rather have someone with experience?

This year we listed a home and in 12 hours we had 24 showings and 6 offers with most well over the asking price. That same night the home Seller was in contract. While 2018 is shaping up to be a Seller's Market, there is still a need for pre-marketing to make people aware a property is going to be for sale shortly. This gets the right people in place who like your home from the outside, know what the price is going to be, and they are ready to come in with an offer.
