When is the best time to sell here in Kitsap County Washington?

The data has spoken, and if you're planning to sell, the countdown is on! According to Zillow: If you want to sell quickly - list mid-March. If you want to sell for max profit - shoot for late April. (And if you're the over-achiever type, list on a Thursday - the best day of the week for a listing to go live.) Things are heating up here in Kitsap and I can tell sellers are listing more now and prepping to list in April too! 

With that in mind, here's a rundown of what you need to knock out between now and then to prep your home for market (with an estimate of how long each step takes).

• Schedule a seller consult with a trusted realtor: 1 week
• Make suggested repairs, declutter, and stage: 2-6 weeks.
• Meet with a realtor to set a listing price and schedule listing photos: 1-2 weeks
• List your home on the MLS: 1-2 days
• Wait for an offer: 47 days. (average days on market here in Kitsap County)
• Negotiate: 3-5 days
• Prepare for inspection and appraisal: 2-3 weeks
• Close on your home: 1 day

You can sell your home in as little as 4-6 weeks, depending on how quickly you receive an offer. Want help or have questions about selling? Call me today- 360-731-7599
