Why Winter Could Be The
Best Time To Sell Your Home
Many sellers believe spring is the best time to put their home on the market, but winter can be an even smarter choice. While buyer demand does pick up in spring, so does the competition. In winter, with fewer homes available, your property has a better chance to shine, catching the attention of motivated buyers.
Historically, the number of homes for sale dips during the cooler months, creating a unique opportunity for sellers. Serious buyers—often driven by job relocations, expiring leases, or personal deadlines—are actively looking, and they have fewer options to choose from. This means less competition for you and more focused attention on your home.
This window won’t last long, either, the “unofficial” start date for the Seattle Buying Season starts the third week of January, so buyers will be out in droves before you know it! Sellers usually arriving on the scene a little later, so a February list date could maximize buyer interest and lack of seller competition.
Another advantage of selling in the winter is the TYPE of buyer you’ll attract this time of year.
Unlike spring or summer window-shoppers, winter buyers are typically more determined and ready to make a decision. With fewer distractions, like holidays or vacations, their focus is on finding a home that meets their needs—and fast.
If you’re thinking about selling your home, this winter could be the perfect time to act. Fewer competing listings and motivated buyers mean you’re in a great position to sell. Read the full blog here to dive deeper into why now might be the best time to list your home.
Breaking The Seasonal Norm: Selling Success In A Slow Market
This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo is officially SOLD, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for the seller and new homeowners! 🏡
When this property expired unsold with another agent, we stepped in with our MAX Sales Process to make it shine:
✅ Stunning professional photos, videos, and 3D tours
✅ A refreshed interior (goodbye green accent walls and oversized furniture!)
✅ Full professional staging to highlight its best features (No more leading with the garage!)
✅ Strategic, market-appropriate pricing.
Despite the challenges of selling during a quieter season, these enhancements made all the difference. We relaunched with a targeted plan, and not only did we secure a buyer, but we also met the critical deadline to help the sellers move forward with their next home—stress-free!
✨ The new owners will love this Kenmore condo’s open-concept layout, peaceful community, and proximity to Lake Washington, parks, and local dining spots.
