The new year is a great time to create a plan to buy or sell your home.

Happy 2025! I hope you had a great holiday season.

It’s January, which can feel like a financial hangover month, and most people are drained from the holidays and might not want to do much. But there are a couple of things that make January a month full of opportunities, especially for buyers and sellers.

For sellers, listing in January shows that you are motivated to sell your home. Maybe your listing has been on the market since fall, and now you’ve adjusted your price and positioned it just right. You might be looking at a cold winter being on the market, but if it means you can get your home sold, you could be open to negotiations and get a buyer a good deal.

For buyers, January is the month when most people look for homes, especially those relocating for a job. They want to take advantage of the holiday downtime to make their move and settle in for the new year.

“January is full of opportunities for buyers and sellers to achieve their real estate goals.”

The new year is a time for goals, and if real estate is one of them, we can create a plan together. I’m receiving a lot of calls from people who are eager to move this year.

If you want to buy, we can find a great home deal. If you’re a seller who wants to list your home, I’ll guide you through the spring seller rush and help you get in and out quickly. This year is a prime time to discuss your plans. Who better to chat with than your trusted real estate pro?
