🍂 September Seller:
Is Fall a Good Time to Sell?
Summer may be winding down, but the real estate market isn’t. If you’ve been thinking about selling, September can still be a great time to make a move. With some sellers choosing to wait until spring, fall can bring less competition while serious buyers are still actively searching.
In Columbia, homes are currently spending a median of about 50 days on the market, giving sellers a little more time to make the right first impression.
Why consider selling this fall?
🍁 Less competition: Some sellers wait until spring, giving well-prepared homes a chance to stand out.
🏡 Motivated buyers: Fall shoppers are often serious about finding a home before the holidays.
💰 Pricing matters: With buyers paying close attention to value, a strategic list price can make all the difference.
✨ Fall curb appeal: Fresh landscaping, clean walkways, warm lighting, and a welcoming interior can make your home shine.
The bottom line: There’s no “perfect” season to sell. There’s the right time for you and your home. If selling has been on your mind, fall may be worth considering.
A quiet setting, a great backyard, and a home that feels welcoming from the moment you walk in.
✨ Tucked away on a cul-de-sac
🛏️ Plenty of space to make it your own
🏠 Charming, move-in-ready feel
🌿 Backs to peaceful woods
📍 Conveniently located for everyday living
✨ Vendor Spotlight ✨
Find the Right Lender
Finding a good local mortgage lender can make a big difference in your home-buying experience.
Local lenders offer personalized service, understand the local market, and have a reputation and relationship in the community.
We’re happy to recommend lenders we trust, but these are simply suggestions.
You’re always welcome to shop around and choose the lender that’s right for you.
Rates matter, but so do fees, loan options, communication, and the lender’s ability to close on time.
A few questions to ask:
What loan programs do I qualify for?
What rate, APR, and lender fees are you offering?
Are there any assistance programs I qualify for?
How quickly can you close?
Who will be my point of contact?
How available are you when questions come up?
