Feb 26, 2025 01:09PM ● By Jeannie Quick, Sunflower Real Estate Group
With all the changes in the housing market this season, you might be wondering if now is the right time to sell your home. To help you make a confident decision, here are three key questions to consider, along with market insights to guide you.
1. Should I Wait to Sell?
While the number of homes for sale has increased in 2024, inventory remains relatively low overall. This means we’re still in a seller’s market, not a neutral or buyer’s market. If you’re thinking about selling, you haven’t missed your chance—there’s still strong demand for homes like yours.
2. Are Home Prices Declining?
Home prices have remained steady, with some areas even seeing slight increases. While the rapid price surges of past years have slowed, experts predict stability or moderate growth in 2025. Selling now allows you to take advantage of current price levels before any potential market shifts.
3. Will There Be a Lot of Competition?
Even though inventory has grown, the overall supply of homes for sale is still low. This means that well-priced, well-maintained homes are in demand and can attract competitive offers. Additionally, fewer listings typically hit the market in winter, reducing competition and increasing the chances of your home standing out to serious buyers.
Final Thoughts
Selling your home this winter could be a great opportunity. With limited inventory, steady prices, and less competition, market conditions remain in your favor. If you’re considering selling, let’s connect so you have the expert insights you need to make the best possible move today and help you determine the best strategy for your situation.
Until next time,
