3 Reasons Why Summer House Selling Isn’t Ideal In TX
Reason #1. Texas Summer is Hot
It’s summer. So, of course, it’s hot outside. That means some people won’t want to go out. It also means that you can get pretty stormy weather that keeps a lot of buyers away.
And the buyers who do come to your house will be very critical of just how cold (or not cold) your air conditioner is… even though it’s probably them that leave the doors open and let out all the cold air getting our utility bill to the roof.
Reason #2. Holidays Mean Fewer Buyers
Many people spend time with their kids doing summer camps, going to the beach, or just trying to do something as a family. If possible they will schedule a time to go out and take a break from their busy work schedules. The last thing they want to worry about is about checking out houses. Therefore, there are fewer people in the market to buy houses and it can take longer to get an offer.
Reason #3. There Are More Sellers
Even though there are fewer buyers, many sellers love selling in the summer because they think it’s more convenient. Therefore, you may be competing for fewer buyers to look at your house, and at the same time you are competing against more sellers. Therefore, it’s not so easy to sell your house and even harder to sell it for top dollar.
Summary
If you want to sell your house, but you’re thinking about selling it in the summer, you may want to rethink that plan. Here are 3 reason why summer house selling isn’t ideal in TX, but there are other reasons too.
