As we approach the winter months, some sellers elect to hold onto their properties for the perceived advantages of showing in the spring and summer months. However, with a realty team as knowledgeable and practiced as Quincy Vrecko & Associates, you can be confident selling your home even in the winter months.
There are actually a few key advantages of selling your home in the slower seasons:
The Benefits of Slow Season Selling
Across Canada, it’s conventional to see lulls in inventory during the late fall and winter months. Most home owners choose to wait till spring to list their properties. Those that strategically take advantage of the resulting reduction in inventory can access incredible benefits.
When inventory is low, buyers have a smaller selection of choices, and a greater sense of urgency to choose. With fewer properties available, prospective buyers have a reduced ability to ‘shop around’ for alternatives. Buyers know that if they take too long deciding on a property, another buyer will snatch the property.
For this reason, we consistently see houses sell closer to their list price, with significantly fewer showings, during the slow season. It’s a simple reality that with reduced supply comes an increase in demand from buyers. This is most prominent with listings that include pools, which are difficult properties for buyers to find in the winter.
1502 Pinot Noir Drive
Don’t believe us? Take a look at this recent listing for all the evidence you might need.
1502 Pinot Noir is a perfect example of a property that sellers may be discouraged from listing during the slow-season. It is a 5300 sqft 5 bed/6 bath home with rich wood accents, media room, and heated in ground pool.
Successfully selling in winter requires a special touch; a unique understanding of market conditions and knowledge of how to take advantage of them. It is precisely this touch that distinguishes Quincy Vrecko as the leader in Kelowna luxury real-estate.
