Is This a Good Time for Home Selling in Sacramento?

My days seem to be pretty balanced in Sacramento in that I talk to about the same number of home buyers as I do to home sellers. Yes, I am an oddball Sacramento real estate agent who answers her phone. I also respond to email very quickly. So fast that I tend to astonish potential clients. I get the phone calls and emails because I have a ton of listings in Sacramento. Once that activity gets ramped up, it doesn’t stop, it only continues to build more business and more client contacts. As a result, the question I get asked more often than not is whether this is a good time to sell in Sacramento.

I suspect you think that any Sacramento real estate agent worth her salt is going to respond YES. Except in this case, it would be absolutely true. It’s no secret that I am not a big fan of home selling during the holidays. Sometimes, though, you have to sell over the holidays, and if you do, I’m there for you. But right now, October, is an excellent time to have your home on the market. For example, I just put a home in Roseville on the market last Friday. Within 24 hours, we have 5 offers. Five excellent offers, no lowballs. If your home is priced right, marketed right, it will quickly sell and for a lot of money!

The question other people ask is whether this is a good time to buy. If you’re working with the Elizabeth Weintraub Team, it’s a fabulous time to buy. Interest rates are low. Prices are low. But competition is stiff. We beat the competition every single day. It’s why we are successful Sacramento real estate agents.

It seems that right now many of my Sacramento home sellers are getting geared up for the spring market. Yeah, the spring market in October. Who’d a thunk it? But preplanning is important. If you want to come out with a bang in January, now is the time to plan for it. Why would you want to appeal to a tiny pool of home buyers in November or December when your home can explode on the scene in January, splashed in front of thousands? I’ll give it to you straight.
