Moving is a major task, and selling a home can be daunting. As a homeowner in Orleans, you are likely considering whether to list your property now or wait until the weekend for open houses and maximum exposure. The answer may depend on your goals and timeline. Let’s look at what listing now or waiting until the weekend may mean for you.
Listing Now
Listing immediately will give you an advantage over waiting. You will be one of the first listings prospective buyers see when they begin their search and you get an opportunity to start building interest before other homes come onto the market. The quick action might lead to an early offer before other homes debut giving you more potential bargaining power as well as allowing your home to stand out from the competition. However, there are still some things you need to consider.
Open Houses
Holding an open house is one of the best ways to expose your home beyond just online searches but that requires some planning and preparation if done correctly. If there is already interest in your home then it might be worth waiting until the weekend for an open house to maximize exposure even further by bringing in more people who have time off work or school for touring purposes and potentially submitting offers. This would also give you time to freshen up landscaping, paint interiors, repair any damages, etc., so that the home looks its best while on display during the open house. Avoid open houses on long weekends, as traffic will mostly be just to window shop.
Ready To Sell
Are you ready to sell? If so, then listing your property now can help jumpstart that process by getting it out into the market quickly with no delay for showings or offers as long as everything else is ready (professional photography taken, all documentation completed). This could be beneficial if timing is key and/or if demand is high where buyers will be eager enough to make offers without needing an open house setting to view the home first-hand.
Whether listing now or waiting until a long weekend for maximum exposure depends entirely on what fits your goals and timeline best when selling in Orleans. Make sure all bases are covered such as having professional photos taken, necessary repairs completed, documentation filled out etc., so that when listing day arrives everything goes smoothly with no delays preventing any potential buyers from seeing or offering on your property right away!
