While spring is often heralded as the best time to sell a home, the autumn months are no less promising – especially in Appalachia and in 2021. Here are a few of the reasons why this fall is a great time to sell your home:

1. Less Competition

Traditionally, fall is a sellers market. In 2021 when inventory is already low, sellers this fall will face less competition than usual. With less homes available for viewing, it’s more likely that more buyers will view your home. 

2. Low Interest Rates

Interest rates are still super low, making it a great time to purchase a house.

3. Motivated Buyers

While it’s true that there may be less buyers in autumn, the buyers tend to be more motivated. This means you’re more likely to get asking price for your home.

4. Quicker Transitions

Buyers may have an easier time getting a loan since mortgage lenders are processing fewer loans. It may be easier to plan a home inspection since inspectors have fewer appointments scheduled. Since fewer real estate transactions take place in the fall, closing on the sale of your house is likely to go smoother and more quickly than in the spring.

5. Unique Staging Opportunities

Is there anything more beautiful than fall in Appalachia? When staging your home this fall, lean into the natural advantages of living in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia to help potential buyers imagine making a home in your house.
