The Best Time to Sell Your Portola Hills Home... Spring!

Spring in Portola Hills

Portola Hills is a beautiful community all year long, but in Spring it sparkles.  The green of the Saddleback Mountains and perhaps a bit of snow, is like a picture frame of the community. 

But did you know it is also the best time to sell your Portola Hills Home!  Check out the reason's why noted below

5 Reason's why Spring is the best time to sell your home in Portola Hills! 

  1. Increased Demand: With warmer weather and longer days, many people are looking to move during the spring. This means more potential buyers looking for homes in Portola Hills.
  2. Curb Appeal: Spring is the time when flowers bloom and trees start to grow again, making your home look more attractive to potential buyers. This can help increase your home's value and make it more appealing to buyers.
  3. Competitive Market: With more homes on the market during the spring, there is an increased level of competition. This can drive up prices and lead to quicker sales.
  4. Better Weather: The mild temperatures and sunny days of spring make it easier for buyers to visit open houses and take a closer look at homes. This can lead to more offers and a faster sale.
  5. School Schedules: Spring is a great time for families to move since it allows them to settle in before the new school year starts. This can lead to more families looking to buy a home in Portola Hills during this time.

 If you have been thinking about a move but are disappointed you missed out on the high sale prices the area received the last two years, then we have some good news for home sellers.  Right now, inventory once again is at an all time low.  We less houses on the market then we did this time last year.

What is the Value of my Portola Hills Home?

Even with Interest Rate increases, Buyer Demand remains strong.  In fact, with the recent bank collapses, such as SVB, investors are looking to real estate to put their cash as it is a secure investment.  Remember real estate is backed by a physical asset!  One that is not going anywhere!  This will add significant demand into the housing market.  Check out Kelly's video for a bit about how the Banking Collapse will impact the Real Estate Market)

Where are all the houses for Sale?

If you are thinking about a move, downsizing, relocating and have been searching for a home, you are probably thinking "where are all the homes for sale" isn't this time of year that we would see them? The answer to the later is yes!  May is typically the busiest month in real estate.  However with over 80% of homeowners refinancing to the low rates over the last couple of years, homeowners are in no hurry to make a move into a higher rate.  Is this you?   But life happens and buyer demand is pretty strong in most price points.  One reason... is the equity position homeowners have.  Just released over 67% of homeowners homes are either paid off or they have less than 50% remaining on their mortgage.  That means there is a ton of equity in the market!  In addition, buyers have come to terms with interest rates.  They understand they can refinance later.
