I am always asked, “When is the best time to sell my home?”  The simple answer is, “When you are ready!”

Of course, some months are better than others for selling a home, but in reality the best time to sell is when you have fully prepared your home for sale. Click here for a full Home Sale Preparation Check List of tasks you may need to accomplish to prepare your home for showing.

Properly preparing your home for sale can mean thousands of extra dollars in your pocket, and most of the required tasks fall under the category of sweat equity. We can all do that when we have to. Especially when it’s to our financial benefit!

Most home buyers with children want to move during the summer when school is out. And many Winnipeggers don’t want to move in the cold winter months. A review of all the home sales in St. Vital during 2011 shows that the spring, summer and early fall were the months with the most home sales. May was the busiest month and December and January were the slowest. In fact, more homes sold in May than in December, January and February combined.

The established trend in Winnipeg is that more homes sell in warmer weather, but the real estate market in Winnipeg actually starts to heat up in February and remains strong until December.

Homes for sale in Old St. Vital, Bright Oaks, Elm Park, Pulberry, Norberry, Normand Park, River Pointe, and Van Hull Estates were hot last week, with every single residential detached home in these neighbourhoods selling for at or above the asking price!
