Selling Flushing Real Estate in the Winter: Is It a Good Idea?

We heard that you're thinking of selling your Flushing real estate, but you're unsure if you should go for it. Winter is knocking on our door, and rumor has it that it's a tough time of year to sell a property.

Not necessarily! At Flushing Realty, we've helped plenty of clients sell their homes quickly and for the amount of money they deserve, even in the winter.

Are you considering putting your Flushing real estate on the market? Here are four compelling reasons why you might want to do it sooner rather than later.

Reason #1: There are usually fewer homes on the market in the winter months.
If you list your home as the snow falls, you'll probably be in the minority. If buyers don't have as many homes to comb through, your property might stand a better chance at landing a top spot on someone's "dream home" list.

Reason #2: Winter buyers are typically serious about their plans.

If you're familiar with New York winters, you'll understand that house-hunting in the snow can be a tedious task. Because of this, we don't see too many people browsing Flushing real estate for fun at this time of year. If someone is house-hunting in our neighborhood in the winter, they probably have a goal in mind.

Reason #3: Real estate agents aren't as busy in the winter.

At Flushing Realty, we want to make our clients feel as if they are our one and only. We take this approach year-round, but we'll admit that it's easier to give our clients more undivided attention during the less-busy winter season.

Reason #4: Winter is a great time to show off your home's energy-saving features.

An updated HVAC system, brand-new insulation or energy-efficient windows catch buyers' eyes all year, but they are even more attractive in the winter. Your home will get lots of attention if you highlight these features on your listing.
