More Listings, More Choices

Spring traditionally sees a surge in inventory as homeowners take advantage of longer days and improved curb appeal to list their homes. This means buyers have more options, and sellers benefit from increased interest and foot traffic.

‍

• Tip: Sellers should highlight outdoor features: green lawns, blooming gardens, patios, etc. to help listings stand out in a crowded market.

‍

Motivated Buyers Are Out in Full Force

Spring isn’t just about more homes, it’s about more active buyers. Families often aim to close before summer so they can move during the school break. This creates a sense of urgency that benefits sellers and leads to faster decisions and cleaner offers.

‍

• Tip: Buyers should come pre-approved and ready to act quickly, as competition can heat up fast this time of year.

‍

Prices & Demand Tend to Rise

With higher demand comes stronger pricing. Historically, springtime sees some of the highest sale prices of the year. Sellers who are priced right and prepared can see solid returns, and buyers should be ready to navigate a competitive landscape.

‍

• Tip: Work with professionals who know the market well. Having a trusted agent and experienced closing attorney on your side is key.

‍

Timing is Everything

Many sellers want to list in spring to get a head start before the summer rush, while buyers want to move before vacation season kicks off. This shared urgency creates a window of opportunity for smart, strategic moves.

‍

• Tip: Don’t wait until you think the market is hot. By then, it’s already moving. Spring rewards those who are proactive.
