It's smarter to sell your home in January vs. February

Every year in December, a lot of my buyers that have been looking for a home take a break from the property search.

They are busy with the holidays and parties and family.

But come January 1st, their new year's resolutions of owning a home kicks in and their search gets ramped up again.

As a home seller, you should understand this pattern and take advantage of it.

You can do that by putting your home on the market in January and getting that initial wave of buyers to come check out your home.

If you wait until February to put your home on the market, you miss the buyer rush and your home could stay on the market longer.

If you are going to list your home, be smart about it, and list your home for sale in January.

That means you need to start to prepare for that today!

Millennial homebuyers in particular love a separate laundry room with 86% of them reporting that it is desirable (36%) or essential/must have (50%) room.

Episode 31 of The #AskDanielLosAngeles Show

On this episode, I answer the following four real estate questions:

1) I heard the Holiday season, in general, is not a good time to sell a property. What are your thoughts?

2) I bought my home a couple of months ago and now all of a sudden I received a "supplemental tax" bill in the mail. Who is supposed to pay that tax bill, me or the previous homeowner?

3) Which month is better to put a home up for sale, January or February?

4) I'm about to close escrow and sell my home. Do I have to hire a professional cleaning company before I move out?
