Is Fall a Good Time to Sell Your Home in the Valley?

Most people assume spring is the only season that works for selling a home. But here’s the secret: fall can be a smart time to make a move.

The buyers who are out right now are often the most serious and motivated. Families want to be settled before the holidays or the new year, and the cooler weather makes showings and moving easier than in the summer heat. The only stretch that can be slower is the short window between Thanksgiving and Christmas — but even then, homes sell when they’re priced right and presented well.

So yes, fall is a good time to sell — sometimes better than you’d expect. The question is: are you positioned to take advantage of it?


Thinking about selling this fall? The window of opportunity is better than most people realize — but it won’t last forever.
