Why Summer is the Best Time to Sell Your Waterloo Region Home

You might ask “Why would anyone want to list their Waterloo Region home in summer?” Read on, MacBeth!


    More Daylight 




Showcase your Home for Sale in Summer’s Natural Light


One of the main advantages of selling your Waterloo Region home in the summer is the lovely weather. Buyers can slide into sandals, hop in the car, and take advantage of extended daylight hours and toasty temperatures for their house hunting. Show off the best features of your home and property in summer’s natural light. Contact us for a free listing consultation.


    Greater Pool of Potential Buyers



It’s easier for kids to start a new school at the beginning of the school year in the fall which makes summer the best time for parents to buy a home. Out-of-towners vacationing in the area add to the pool of potential buyers. A more active market leads to a greater potential for competitive offers.


    Increased Curb Appeal



Summer is the picture-perfect season to showcase your home. Black-eyed Susan, coneflowers, dahlias, hydrangeas, and phlox are in full bloom. Enhance the curb appeal of your Waterloo Region home by dressing it up with colourful flowers, flowering shrubs, potted plants, and lush foliage.  Create the WOW factor to entice potential purchasers to book a showing. 


    More Leeway for Home Improvement Projects




No one wants to tackle a roofing job, gutter replacement, or fence repair in the dead of a Canadian winter. Capitalize on the warmth and extended daylight hours of summer to tackle the home repairs and renovations that may increase the value of your Waterloo Region home and enhance its appeal to potential buyers.


    Less Competition



Some sellers opt to take a break from the market in summer when summer vacations and the cottage beckon. This creates a decline in inventory in Waterloo Region homes for sale...and can benefit you as it reduces competing homes for sale. This could result in a quicker sale and higher-priced offers.


    List and Sell Your Pool Home During the “Hottest” Season

It goes without saying that if you have an in-ground or on-ground pool, summer is the best time to sell your pool home. Pool homes in Waterloo Region are in demand. Take advantage of listing your Kitchener-Waterloo pool home during the summer so a buyer can capitalize on a summer “staycation”.
