Still Waiting for the Perfect Time to Sell? The New Year Just Showed Up

If selling your home is on your radar this year, you may be wondering whether it’s better to wait until spring. While spring is traditionally known as the busy real estate season, getting started now can actually put you at a major advantage.

Here’s why smart sellers are choosing to act sooner rather than later — and how my Ready, Set, Sold® system helps them get top results.


1. Less Competition Means More Attention on Your Home

Spring brings more buyers — but it also brings a flood of new listings. When you list now, your home doesn’t get lost in a sea of inventory. Fewer homes on the market means:

  • More eyes on your property
  • Less competition on price
  • Greater urgency from serious buyers

Simply put, your home stands out more when there are fewer options available.


2. Serious Buyers Are Already Looking

Many people assume buyers slow down at the start of the year — but that’s not true. In reality, buyers get motivated and curious early. They:

  • Start browsing listings online
  • Visit open houses
  • Get pre-approved and ready to move

The difference? The buyers out now are serious. They aren’t casually scrolling — they’re planning their next move.


3. Buyers Get “House-Hungry” After the Holidays

After the holidays, people are ready for change. They’re:

  • Thinking about fresh starts
  • Planning relocations, upsizing, or downsizing
  • Making decisions before spring competition heats up

This creates an ideal window where motivated buyers are actively looking — and ready to act.


4. My Ready, Set, Sold® System Gets Results

Timing matters, but strategy matters more. My proprietary Ready, Set, Sold® system is designed to help sellers:

  • Achieve low days on market
  • Attract strong, qualified buyers
  • Position their home for top price

Every step is intentional — from pricing strategy and market preparation to exposure and negotiation.


5. Added Value: A Free Home Warranty for Peace of Mind

One of the added benefits I provide to my sellers is a free home warranty that:

  • Starts as soon as your home is listed
  • Covers key systems during the listing period
  • Conveys to the buyer at closing

This offers peace of mind for both you and the buyer — and can help reduce objections, inspections concerns, and last-minute stress.


6. Getting Started Now Puts You Ahead of the Curve

When you start early, you’re not rushing. You’re preparing.

That means:

  • Strategic planning
  • Thoughtful preparation
  • Strong market positioning

And when spring arrives, you’re already ahead of the crowd.
