I’m often asked by potential home sellers in the W. Seattle market, when is the best time to list a home. The simple answer to this question is “when its the best time for the seller.” A Seattle area home in good condition and priced right will almost always sell at fair market value or better.
Common belief is that the best time is in the spring. While the interest level of home buyers in Seattle certainly goes up, so does the competition of other homes for sale. In the fall, there is less competition and also fewer buyers.
In the current Seattle’s seller’s market there doesn’t really seem to be a bad time to list a home for sale. The demand is so great compared to the supply most homes are selling quickly and for well over their asking prices.
If you’d like to discuss the possibility of seller your home. Contact me, I’d be happy to help you develop a marketing plan that works for you.
