31 | Sell this Fall, or Is Waiting until Spring Better?

So today we're kinda talking about whether you should sell this fall or wait until spring.

So last week we talked about kind of this upcoming referendum vote and that kinda thing, and so now what are we doing in terms of sellers this fall? So this is a question that comes around every year.

Should I sell now or should I wait until spring? And, like, f- truthfully, I understand why people ask.

Spring feels like the obvious real estate season, right? The weather's better, the days are longer, the market just, like, feels busier.

More people are out looking at houses, I would say.

Mm.

Yeah.

So if you're a homeowner thinking about selling right now, being that it's October, it could be really easy to think, like, "Ah, maybe I'll just wait until March." But here's what we're gonna challenge today.

Is spring actually the best time to sell?

That's a really good question.

Yeah.

I love this, yeah.

Or have we just collectively decided it is with, like, no real data that, like, underpins this, this concept? So the truth is, is that there isn't one universally best time to sell a home.

There is a best time to sell your home, and that is based on your property, your competition, your goals, and your timeline.

Mm-hmm.

Timeline's a big one.

And that becomes particularly important in the Calgary market that we're in, like, right now.

Yeah, I think this is such a great episode for anyone who's thinking about selling and hasn't really quite pulled the trigger yet.

Yeah.

Maybe you've been thinking, "Yeah, we'll probably sell next year," or, "We should probably wait till the spring," or, you know, "We need to save more money or get more money once the market picks up."

Mm-hmm.

Or maybe you're just not sure whether your house would even sell right now, 'cause I think that's a, a big talk of just, "Oh, the market's really slow," right?

Every person I talk to who I'm like, "I'm a realtor," they're like, "Wow, the market's really slow, hey?"

Literally.

Like, it-
