In the real estate world there is a trend happening that is costing sellers thousands of dollars in equity. Most people list in Spring. In fact, you may be preparing your home for a Spring sale right now. What you want to consider is that most people list in May, June or July. They typically will contract with a real estate agent for 6 months, which will expire in October, November and December. it is convenient and seems harmless for a seller to take their house off the market in October-December to prepare for the Holidays, and take a break... since they have been on the market for 6 months, dealing with showings and all the issues with the showing process that can wear you down when your property has not sold.
Here is what you probably did not know:
From May 1st through July in 2016
2,349 properties that DID NOT SELL It is stunning to know that over 1/2 of the properties that list with a real estate agent does not sell the first time around.

Why are home sellers are missing out on thousands of dollars?
During the Months of November and December 2016 market, The Greater KC areaover 4,300 homes received offers during that time and of those 4,300+ contracts received, over 1,200 of them closed and moved into their new homes for the Holidays. They also took advantage of the current interest rates on that new home. Waiting till spring may not only have cost them thousands of dollars in a lower sale price because of more competition for their buyer, it could have also cost them more on the purchase of their new home in the form of higher interest rate. There is NO equity gain in paying more INTEREST for your home.
