Get Ahead of the Competition: Why January is the New Spring Real Estate Market

by Laurie Field

As the New Year begins, savvy sellers understand that January marks the unofficial start of the Spring Real Estate Market. While most people think of spring as March or April, that is actually incorrect. The reason why people believe that is that homes that went under contract in January often close in March, so the sale and sale price are recorded as a March sale.  The reality is that January is the prime time for selling since serious buyers are already out looking for their next home.

Listing your home early gives you a competitive edge, attracting buyers who want to move before the market becomes saturated. If you act now, your home could be under contract before other sellers even list.

By getting ahead of the crowd, you benefit from increased attention from serious buyers who are focused on finding a property before the rush. With less competition in January, your home can stand out, and motivated buyers are more likely to make quick decisions. The homes that list early also tend to sell for higher prices, as there are fewer listings to compare.

The market waits for no one, and this is your chance to take control. By listing now, you can position yourself for success in 2025. Contact me today to learn how I can help you market your property and sell it quickly and profitably.
