The FOCUS on NoVA Real Estate® Team discusses the best time to sell your property.

We are talking today about the best time to go on the market as a seller to get the highest possible sales price. Looking back at the data dating to December of 2014, year-over-year as long as your property closes between March and May, that is when you are going to get on average the highest possible sales price. 

However let us look at the complete data. What is really interesting about our current market situation, which is a shortage of inventory, is that the median sales price throughout Fairfax County has always achieved no less than 98% of the asking
price. The only exception to that is back in January of 2015 where
properties received 97.7% of their asking prices. 

The point is that your house must be ready, prepared properly, marketed properly, and priced properly and, in general, it will perform well.
