This spring is a fantastic time to sell your home in Columbus, Ohio. The National Association of Realtors forecasts that Columbus will continue to rank in the top 10 U.S. housing markets in 2020. Here’s why local real estate law attorneys agree with this assessment and how to benefit from this hot sales season.

3 Reasons Real Estate Law Attorneys Recommend a Spring Home Sale

1. Plenty of Buyers Available

As winter fades away, plenty of buyers are coming out of hibernation. Longer and warmer days make house-hunting more appealing. Purchasers often plan their relocation for the school year’s end, so spring is their prime shopping time. 

2. More Potential for Creating Curb Appeal 

Instead of wading through muddy snowbanks, potential home buyers relish strolling amid signs of spring, so create sales-boosting curb appeal. Pressure wash your home and driveway to get rid of winter grime, then line your walkway or fill porch planters with fresh flowers. Wonderful seasonal choices include vibrant-colored pansies, which thrive on cool days, and trillium, with rich green leaves and yellow/white blooms that peak in April and last through June.

3. Increase in Buyer Competition

When the weather heats up, so does the competition for available properties. More buyers want homes, so sellers get higher rates of return on sales. Expect fewer contingencies in contracts, such as waiving certain home inspection remedies or obtaining a mortgage at a certain interest rate. A quick sale at a premium price gives you more cash at the closing table, which expands your opportunities to purchase a new home.
