If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home this year, the time to start preparing is now. While the spring market may seem a couple of months away, the most successful buyers and sellers don’t wait—they get ready early so they can take advantage of the best opportunities as soon as they arise.
Sellers: Prep Now for Maximum Value
Before listing your home, take time to declutter and depersonalize your space. Buyers want to envision themselves living in your home, and that’s easier when they aren’t distracted by personal items like family photos, diplomas, and collectibles.
? Declutter—Remove excess furniture, seasonal clothing, magazines, and decor that makes spaces feel smaller
? Handle repairs—Fix anything that’s broken or outdated so your home shines in listing photos
? Plan for staging—A well-presented home sells faster and for more money
By starting now, you’ll be ready for professional photos and listing day success when demand picks up.
Buyers: Be Ready to Act Fast
The spring market brings more homes, but also more competition. Smart buyers prepare early by getting their finances in order:
? Get preapproved—Know your budget and strengthen your position when making an offer
? Make a list—Define your “must-haves” vs. “nice-to-haves” to narrow your search
? Work with an expert—Having a Realtor who knows the market gives you a competitive edge
Why Acting Now Makes Sense
Waiting doesn’t always pay off. Home prices are still forecast to rise, and while mortgage rates may fluctuate, they aren’t expected to drop significantly anytime soon. By acting early, you can start building equity sooner and lock in your home before competition heats up.
