A lot of my clients in Long Island think that the real estate market shuts down during the fall and winter, but this is not true. Traditionally the spring and summer real estate markets are the busiest, but just because they're competitive doesn't mean that it's also the best time to sell a home. 

The fall and winter may actually be the best time to sell your home, and there are two reasons why this is true. When you sell your home in the fall and winter, you have much less competition surrounding it. When you have fewer sellers in the market, your home has a greater chance of selling quickly and for top dollar.

The other important factor comes down to how many buyers there are in the market. In the fall and winter there are usually fewer buyers, but they are far more serious about purchasing your home. This means that you have an opportunity to sell in a less crowded market with more serious buyers.

What does that mean for you? It means that you can sell more quickly and for more money in the fall and winter! 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you'd like to sell your home for top dollar this fall!
