Why Should I Sell My Midwest Home This Spring?

As the weather warms up, the midwest comes alive with renewal and rebirth during the spring. This is an excellent time to start anew, especially within your home.

There are several benefits to selling your home in the spring, especially in 2022. To maximize on the sale of your home it is important to understand buyers’ motivations, and how the spring season amplifies their interest.

1. Extended Daylight & New Energy

After being trapped inside all winter, midwesterners are ready to get out of their house. Days become longer and people become more productive as they begin to do more with their evenings -including searching for homes. The extended daylight allows buyers to accurately view neighborhoods and homes that their interested in. Paired with the exciting new energy of the season, buyers are extremely motivated during the spring.

2. Ideal Time for Home Improvement

Similarly, spring is an ideal time for home improvement. Whether you want to make enhancements yourself or sell your home as a fixer-upper, it is strategic to act on this opportunity before the cold weather approaches again.

3. Heightened Curb Appeal

Not only is there high demand because of the nice weather, but there is also heightened curb appeal. Basking in the warm sun, the blooming trees and plants elicit positive feelings of growth and prosperity. You may find that it’s easier to draw buyers in because your yard will look it’s very best. This makes it easy for prospective buyers to envision themselves using these areas. Additionally, buyers feel comforted by the pleasant temperature and can make decisions cheerfully, as opposed to summer’s balmy heat and winter’s frigid cold.

4. Perfect Timing for School

For the well-being of their children, families with students have increased incentive to buy in the springtime. This is to ensure their kids do not have to move schools before summer vacation, and are still ready for the next school year by fall.

5. More Offers

All of these factors contribute to sellers receiving more offers in the spring than any other season. Offers come in faster and houses often sell for more money because buyers are competing.

However, houses do not sell themselves. To maximize on all of these factors, you must have the right real estate professional on your side to advise and guide you along the way. If you’re thinking about listing your home this spring, contact the Huerkamp Home Group at 612-502-SOLD.
