For those of us who miss the sunshine during these cold wintery months, springtime is a welcomed season. With daylight savings and the spring equinox both later this month, it feels like Spring is right around the corner.
But for the real estate market, spring is already here! The months of April-June (known as the Spring Market) are generally when we record the highest number of sales in the Sacramento region. A sale doesn’t typically close until 30 days after the listing goes into escrow, which means the market activity today gets reflected in those Spring month counts.
As this current crazy storm passed through Northern California last weekend and the weather is now heating up, more folks will consider their options to buy or sell. If you’ve been thinking about a real estate transaction this year, don’t wait until Spring Break to do these essential “Spring Cleaning” steps!
- Buyers need to get pre-approved for financing, check their credit report for any errors, and become laser-focused in the areas or amenities that are most important to them
- Sellers need to spruce up the exterior of their homes, clear out the clutter, and do market research to identify how their home compares to other recent nearby sales
