Is early Spring 2021 the time to list?

By Jené DeSpain, February 12, 2021

For many sellers, a crucial aspect of putting their home on the market is timing. “When is the best time to sell?” is one of the main questions I am asked as a realtor. Understanding demand, market climate, and current lending rates can all be influential factors for when a seller decides to list. While late Spring and Summer historically tend to be the “hot season” for new listings, the early Spring weeks of 2021 might be just the perfect time to put your property up for sale.

As our Living Room Realty community can tell you, we are experiencing record lows of available houses on the market. With interest rates at surprisingly low percentages, new buyers are flooding into the scene hoping to score their first time home. As of this week’s market report, the median price for a home in Portland Oregon is $695,000 with only 535 active listings available. In every Portland neighborhood, prices have increased a significant amount from the start of 2020 to today.

 

So what does all this new data point to? If you are considering making a move this year, these next few weeks might be an exceptional time to bring your home to this hungry buyer community and capitalize on this strong seller’s market.
