Is summer a good time to sell?
Although we often notice that June marks the beginning of a slowdown in the number of showings and sales due to graduations, vacations, and other distractions, the prices, at least nationwide, tell a different story.
Nationwide, homes listed in the first two weeks of June sold for 2.3% more nationwide.
In Montecito, there are currently 63 homes for sale and 11 homes in escrow. So far this month there have been 8 closed sales, 4 of which were over $5M. At this point in May last year, there had been 21 closed sales in Montecito (almost three times as many as this year), with 11 sold over $5M and 2 over $10M.
The current inventory and sales data suggest that this summer could indeed be a strategic time to list your home.
