If you've been thinking off and on about upsizing or downsizing your current home or have been dreaming about making the switch from renter to home owner, this winter is a great chance to make the change you've been considering. The team at Pyxis Realty is here and ready to help you make your home owning dreams come true. All you have to do is pick up the phone or shoot us an email to get the ball rolling. Not only do we offer our professional services in the Grand Rapids real estate market, we also have extensive knowledge of other communities in the West Michigan real estate market. If you need a West Michigan realtor or a Grand Rapids realtor, there's no better place to start!
There's also no better time to start. While many people are recovering from the holidays and plan to put off moving or finding a new home until spring, by getting into the market now, you can beat the spring rush and start the year off right: in the new home of your dreams. Here are three great reasons that show why there's no real reason to wait.
-
Despite the icy conditions today, winter will likely remain mild this year. That means no fighting your way through massive drifts of snow with your sofa or waiting, frantic, for the movers while the roads become increasingly impassible. That means that the biggest reason people will be waiting to buy or sell will be significantly less of an issue than normal in the early months of 2016.

The early bird gets the worm. Or in this case, the best offer on their home, or the exact home they were hoping to purchase. As winter melts into spring, the already hot West Michigan real estate market will really warm up, leading to plenty of buyers vying for the same house and certain neighborhoods flush with hopeful would-be sellers. Don't wait until the peak of the season to list your home or start looking for one. If you do, it's the equivalent of going holiday shopping on Black Friday. The possibility for bidding wars and fierce competition increase as the temperature does, so get into the market now before things get really hectic.

Bypass Spring Cleaning this year by living in a new home! If you move in the first few months of the year, you'll of course be thoroughly cleaning your new home before you move in (or hiring professionals to do so for you). That means that when the first, beautiful days of spring hit, you won't have to worry about cleaning the heating ducts, shampooing the carpets, or dusting and washing the window treatments. All of these things will have been done recently, allowing you to simply get out and enjoy the beauty of spring in your new home's yard and your neighborhood.
Don't wait until it's really warm out; get in touch with Pyxis Realty and get the home search or home sale process started today! Beat the rush and start 2016 off on a positive note.
