Why Summer is the Perfect Time to Sell Your Home in Palm Harbor

As the countdown to the new school year begins, parents are eager to get settled into their new homes. This urgency can work to your advantage, especially if your property features a pool, a spacious backyard, or a quiet study area. These amenities could be exactly what potential buyers are looking for.

In Florida, homes with features designed for cooling off are highly sought after. Whether it’s a refreshing pool, a shady patio, or a brand-new AC unit, now is the time to showcase these highlights. Additionally, we’ll make sure buyers know about your proximity to local attractions such as Honeymoon Island, Clearwater Beach, and Lake Tarpon, adding even more appeal to your property.

To ensure your home makes the best impression, it’s ideal for showings to occur when the owners are not present. We’ll coordinate with your summer travel plans to schedule showings while you’re away. Just provide the dates you’ll be out of town, and I’ll take care of everything.

Seller Discounts in Palm Harbor

In 2020 and 2021 we saw a lot of sellers achieving 100% or higher of their original list price.

It seems like everyone knows a neighbor who got “X” amount over asking for their house.

Some cooling has started to show up in the data, putting the market right around where it was in years past.

Sellers might not be in the drivers’ seat as much, but the market is nowhere near seeing deep discounts booming through the marketplace.
