4 Reasons To Sell Your House This Winter

Kansas City is a very hot seller’s market – there are fewer homes for sale than there are buyers and homes in KC right now often have multiple offers over asking price. Home prices in Kansas City have reached the highest it has in years and are expected to continue to grow into the year 2022.

Here are the reasons why this winter might be the year to list your home:

Your listing will attract attention. If you sell your house now before more homes are listed in the spring, you house will stand out to serious buyers who have been waiting for their perfect house to go on the market.

Your house will likely get multiple offers. Supply is low and demand is high – buyers are eager to put in offers over asking price to remain competitive.

It’s likely that your house won’t be on the market very long. With very low inventory and high demand, it’s likely your house will sell quickly.

January is a big month for job relocations. Large corporations tend to make personnel changes at the beginning of the year. This brings motivated homebuyers that want to get situated quickly.

Looking to sell your home this winter? The experts at Brookside Real Estate are here to help! Give us a call at (816) 333-3330 or stop by our storefront office at 9 W 63RD ST – When the flag is up, we’re open!
