January can be the perfect time to put a home on the market. We have sold more homes to cash buyers in January than in any other month. Home buyers who plan on getting a home loan often wait until after they get an income tax refund before they buy a house. That is why March 15th is considered an ideal time to put a house on the market.
Quick sales happen all year long and so do cash sales. Putting your home on the market in January can lead to a higher sale price, a shorter time on the market, and a cash offer.
Money is money but with a cash offer, there is no appraisal. There are fewer steps that the buyer and sellers have to go through. There is no waiting for underwriting approval.
