This autumn is a great time to list your home for sale with Pyxis Realty. Not only are average home sale prices up from last year (and last month), but the market is still moving very quickly, with low levels of housing inventory. If you've been considering selling your home, but are worried that it's too late in the year to take advantage of the high demand in the West Michigan real estate market and the greater Grand Rapids real estate markets, let us lay your fears to rest. Here are three reasons why the fall is a great time to list your home and move into the new neighborhood that you've been considering.
-
Fall colors really add to curb appeal. Showcasing the exterior of your home is never easier than in the autumn. Some corn stalks and pumpkins in the front yard, along with some hardy mums, and your home will really stand out to those driving by, looking at properties. Trees, an important feature of many yards, really stand out in the fall, instead of fading into a monotonous green background that goes unnoticed. Even colorful bushes and garden plants can make a big impression in the fall. One or two prominent displays of colorful fall foliage can make potential homeowners see seasonal beauty and the possibility of your space becoming theirs.

Fall is a great time of the year to move. If the thought of packing and moving your possessions in the summer exhausts you, you are certainly not alone. Many people loathe the additional strain that summer hear can add to the already stressful activity that is moving house. Now, in the cool of the autumn air, is a great time to move. There's no ice or slippery snow to worry about, and no need to concern oneself with the projected humidity before deciding on a date to move. This is also a perk for you if the home you're selling is your primary residence, because you won't have to worry about the heat either while packing.

Buyers are eager to settle in before winter comes. Winter is coming. When it gets here, while plenty of people still buy and sell, there are also plenty of people who may avoid moving until the weather breaks. Some people would prefer to move in less frigid conditions, such as the spring thaw or the cool of autumn. The winter holidays are also a concern for some; moving right around the holidays could make family get-togethers more difficult. Moving in the weeks leading up to Halloween and Thanksgiving, however, seems much less daunting and disruptive.
