Little Bit Apprehensive?

     Whenever we get to August, I get a bit apprehensive when a seller says they need a little more time before they list their home.  As most of you know the summer is the strongest time to have your home on the market and get results.
Why?
I am so glad you asked.
     You see, there are strong forces at work here, and it is called the seasonal real estate cycle (March-September...here in warm, sunny Florida).  The first aspect of this cycle I like to call the New Years resolution crowd,  "This is it...we are going to buy a home this year"--and this makes up the group who close on a home between March and May.  A larger portion of the buyers like to buy while the kiddos are out of school and purchase between May and September.  There are others, but I seem to see these two the most.
So what does this mean to me?
Well,  think of it this way, you have a short "window" to get the highest price for your home because you have more buyers on the hunt.  With these larger numbers out looking at your home, you will have a better chance of getting a higher offer in a shorter peroid of time when that right buyer sees your home.

Grace and Peace...
