The annual peak home selling season is rapidly approaching. The weather is warming up, school year will soon be coming to a close. Anyone thinking about making a move – whether across town, out of state or moving into one of Freeport’s lovely communities – are already making preparations. If you are planning to sell your home this year, did you review my Top 10 Tips printed in the last edition of Freeport Life? Did you take action? If not, better get started!
Even though there remain some challenges with inflation, affordable prices and lower mortgage rates in today’s economy, given the fact that many of our local residents are active-duty or working in the private sector for companies that support our military, people have a need to move.
Over the coming weeks, you can expect to see more homes listed for sale and increased traffic of potential home buyers driving through our neighborhoods scoping out available inventory and possibly their next home. Will yours be ready and on the market to show? Procrastinate and you will be competing with a larger number of home sellers lobbying to gain buyer interest and secure an offer. Preparation increases your chances for a successful sale. You should be consulting with a trusted local agent or REALTOR® now, not once school lets out.
