ADVERTISING YOUR BUFFALO HOMEFINDER IN THE Continued from front page Eric Bramlett, Realtor and owner of Bramlett Residential in Austin, Texas: "I really believe that proper timing is one of the most important factors when selling a home. I'm not saying you can't sell it other times of the year, but if you want to maximize your profit and have the smoothest transaction possible, paying attention to seasonal trends is so valuable." Q: When do you believe is the best time of the year to try selling your home? Hendrix: "April. A recent study by Realtor.com found that sellers stand to gain significantly by listing their homes between April 14 and April 20. In fact, according to their analysis, you could potentially earn up to $34,000 more compared to earlier in the year." Sally Awad, a real estate consultant and business owner of Sally Awad Properties in Charlotte, North Carolina: "Based on my experience, especially in the Carolinas, our spring market is April through August. April and May are tax refund months, and June through August school is out, so these are the best times." Bramlett: "In my experience working with buyers and sellers here in Austin, the late spring months - especially May - tend to be our peak selling season. It's right when the weather starts to get really nice. People feel more motivated to get out and start looking at homes when it's sunny and warmer. It also works out well for families with kids, since it gives folks time to move over the summer before school starts up again in the fall." Q: What if you cannot list and sell your home during a recommended time of year? David Greiner, a real estate attorney: "If selling during peak season isn't possible, enhancing your home's curb appeal and staging the interior effectively can help attract buyers. Moreover, pricing your home competitively, possibly slightly under market value, can generate more interest and potentially spark a bidding war, even in slower seasons." Hendrix: "It's essential to adjust your expectations accordingly. October, November, and December are often the worst months to sell a home, and you may receive lower offers. Be prepared to price your home competitively." Awad: "It's important to hire an experienced real estate agent who can do the right marketing for you to reach more buyers. I also recommend tidying up the landscape, mowing the lawn, and ensuring your exterior is clean and well-maintained. Additionally, be accommodating with showings and open houses to maximize exposure to potential buyers. And leverage multiple marketing channels to promote your listing, including online platforms, social media, print advertising, and word-of-mouth."
