People always assume that summer is the busiest time of year for the housing market in San Antonio. Our busiest time of year—historically speaking—is actually the fourth quarter.Right now is our favorite quarter to help sellers get their home on the market, and there are several reasons why: 

1. Less competition. Instead of competing with 20 or 30 other houses, yours is only working against a handful of them. That means you’ll be able to get more money for your house in this market. 

“What better time is there to show a home than when it’s festively decorated?”

2. Buyers are motivated and seeking a fresh start. Most homebuyers want to get situated before the calendar year ends, as many will be starting new jobs or have kids who will be attending new schools. 

3. Houses are fun to show. What better time is there to show a home than when it’s festively decorated and smells wonderful (e.g., pumpkin spice, gingerbread, pine needles, or cranberry candles). On the whole, people seem to be in better spirits during the holiday season, and that generally makes for smoother deals. 

Give us a call so we can visit with you and get your home on the market while the holiday magic is still in the air; the best gift you can give yourself is a timely, successful home sale for top dollar! We’d love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have.
