Reasons to Buy or Sell this Spring
For many, getting a fresh start in spring means they’re ready to put their Chicago- North Shore house on the market and/or start looking for a new Chicago-North Suburban place to call home.
These are the four top reasons on why spring is an ideal time to buy, sell, or both in the North Shore area of Chicago.
- A house on the market at the beginning of spring makes it possible for you to move over the summer! The weather is more likely to be perfect and is ideal for families with children out of school…often better not to disrupt the children during the school year – especially if you’re relocating and changing school districts; this will give you a fresh start at the beginning of a brand new school year.
- Increased traffic at open houses means the increased probability of a sale. With milder weather, people are often more motivated to venture outside and linger for longer periods.
- Houses look more appealing in the sunlight with nice curb enhanced greenery and flowers out front. As trees and shrubs begin to blossom, the colorful branches and intoxicating fragrance provide increased interest. Curb appeal is important year round. The spring shines a light on a home’s appearance literally and figuratively. It’s a little easier to make repairs to a home when the weather is mild. Spring is the time to finally stop putting off the little projects that have been building up through the winter. Fix that broken step banister put a fresh coat of paint on that chipped garage door, it can make the difference and can influence the buyer the moment they cross the threshold.
- You can take the fix-up projects a step further….There is certainly no better time to de-clutter than with the windows open for the first time after winter…can you say spring cleaning! Deciding to sell might be that extra push you need to finally get rid of those old clothes or an over abundance of toys.
With the dark days of winter at an end and with the housing market in Chicago’s North Shore area on the rebound, use this Spring to get a fresh start in your quest to buy or sell that special home. Consider your own personal reasons to buy or sell this spring.
Thank You and Have a Great Day
