If you're considering selling your home in the Niagara Region this summer, a target of getting your house up on the market during the month of July might just be the right timing for you. Keep in mind, this is an overall, generalized statement. We are well aware that for some, it does NOT make sense to sell right now. Our guidance is tailored to your specific situation. 

That being said, let's talk about why July might make sense, if it is the right time for you to sell: 

1) June is Busy. 

June is one of the busiest months of the year. Kids are finishing school, graduating, going to prom, and parents put their houses up on the market in the spring with the hopes it would be sold by now, so they could move through the summer. The weather is warming up, gardens are blooming, and homes are looking as picturesque as ever. In the real estate world, there are the more listings on the market than there have been in ages. 

We're used to the trend of the "Spring Market". Which did happen, but the days of houses flying off of the market is long behind us. With the number of listings that there are, buyers have too many options to count. Listing activity has been down, and days on the market are climbing higher and higher each day. 

Therefore, thanks to the hustle and bustle of June, July might be the time for your house to shine as a new listing on the market. 

2) Buyers are getting pickier. 

It's no secret that buyers hold the upper hand right now. They're taking their time, being selective, and weighing their options. 

But, here's the secret: there are serious and reasonable buyers out there, if your house is positioned properly.

3) More focused buyers = benefit for sellers.

 At this point, the buyers that are still out there and looking consistently (and believe me, we know first hand that those buyers exist). But there is a caveat that sellers need to get used to: It's not about listing and selling fast. It's about doing it the smart and strategic way.

Listing a home is not just about snapping a few pictures and putting a for sale sign in the lawn. In this market, it is more crucial than ever to have a well thought out, educated pricing strategy. On top of that, the way that you market your home means everything when it comes to the results that you want. Marketing isn't just about social media views. It's about your actual house. How do people feel when they enter? Is it clean? Is it well taken care of? Can they envision themselves living there? 

Even if any of this slightly resonates with you, let's chat before the summer market comes to it's peak. We can help you decide if July might be the right time for you to list your home.
