Buying and Selling a Home Before School Starts

Some homes get listed in early spring, and by the time mid-summer hits, the home may still be up for sale. Going into the school year with their home still on the market is what sellers try to avoid. Fortunately for homebuyers, this makes sellers motivated to sell. Therefore, they might reduce the price of their home or be more willing to negotiate the price. When looking for homes in the late summer, you may see that many listings have reduced prices to sell quickly. However, if you are buying a home in a competitive market and find one that meets your needs, you shouldn’t wait for the price to reduce to make an offer.


For Sellers, It must be a priority to manage their time well, and that includes clearing the entire family, including any pets, while the real estate agent shows the home to a potential buyer. Fortunately, everybody likes to be out during the summer to enjoy the nice weather so sellers can take their family to the park during the time. In contrast to the winter, where nobody likes to hang around outside for an extended period of time, the summer is the perfect season to attract people to your open houses. A home always looks its best with the natural sunlight shining through and keeping some windows or doors open for the potential buyers provides a more welcoming gesture.


You may have many questions lingering about how to know if a particular school district and neighborhood will fit with your wants and needs. GreatSchools.com is just one of many sites designed to provide information on different school districts in any specific area. On the off chance that you do not have the time to visit schools and meet with teachers, this website provides you with ratings of school districts, reviews, and information regarding your children’s educational needs.


There is still time to move into a new school district before the new school year starts. Most districts will allow enrollment with a copy of a signed purchase agreement stating the new address within the district's boundaries.
