GET READY - when it comes to home sales in the general Harrisburg area, the month of June is when home sales historically reach their highest prices. If you are planning to sell in the near future, now is the time to GET READY.
In order to have a settled sale in the month of June your home should be under contract by Memorial Day. And to be under contract by Memorial Day, your home has to be on the market. Last year the median marketing time for sales that settled in June was 38 days. Of all the homes that sold, half sold in 38 days or less. Get your home listed for sale no later than May 1st. April 15th would be even better.
Now is the time to GET READY. Clean out the closets and get rid the accumulated junk. If repairs are needed to your house, get contractors lined up so projects can be completed before the magical listing date. Above all, find out the market value of your house. If you price your house too high, it might not sell within your targeted time frame. Robert Ensminger Appraisers can help you determine the best asking price for your home.
