Sell a home in Johnson County in the Spring, now’s the time!

by Cindy on December 2, 2009

I’ve been many times in the last week, think we should wait till spring to put our homes on the market for sale in Overland Park?  Isn’t it slow during the holidays thru Feb or March of the the next year?? Think not!! This won’t be a typical year & winter for homes sales in Overland Park and Johnson County.  With the tax credit extended only until April 30,2010, all home buyers are to be under contract & must close by June 30,2010 to qualify for the credit.  I feel that the beginning of the year will start out with a bang – unless our weather is really nasty. Homebuyers are going to want to see what is on the market & feel they can get a jump start before many others.  Sellers get your home ready now!  During the holidays do some of the little extra things that need to be touched or spruced up.  Enjoy it during the holidays & then call an expert to put your home for sale in Johnson County! Inquire on getting a market analysis on your home! Just look at our numbers of closed sales in October.  It’s telling the story!  Listen to our podcast or check out our blog post about it.
