Why Fall is a Great Time to Sell A Home

Fall is just around the corner in Boise. The leaves begin to change and the fall smells fill the air. Although the spring market is always spoken about as the best time to sell a home, at Lysi Bishop Real Estate we find the Fall market to be one of our favorites.

Serious buyers are in the market:

Many buyers sense the change in season and want to nest just in time for the holidays. This can work to your advantage as a seller because the buyers looking at your home will feel an urgency to choose to move in before the snow hits.

Autumn can add ambiance to your home:

Fall colors can make a house feel homey and cozy. Autumn smells in the air and a fireplace going can help buyers envision themselves living in your home. Trees full of leaves changing color can also add to the curb appeal of your home! Just make sure to keep leaves on the ground raked and the gutters clear. 

Less competition:

With fewer homes for sale in the fall, your home has a better chance of standing out.  Quicker sales can occur because businesses such as home inspectors and mortgage lenders will have fewer customers, and therefore be able to prioritize your home more. This is a major advantage with the fall market!
