Is It Better to Move Now or Wait for the Spring Market?

We’ve been having this conversation at a lot of kitchen tables lately.

With all the headlines about interest rates and timing the market, many people feel they need to make the “perfect” decision.

After 33+ years in real estate, here’s the truth we share with our clients:

The right time to move depends on your plan — not the season.

Yes, spring usually brings more listings and more activity.
But it also brings more competition.

Homes that come on the market earlier often stand out more because serious buyers are already watching and ready to act.

For many of our clients — especially those thinking about downsizing — the real question isn’t price.

It’s:

• timing

• preparation

• and making the move feel comfortable and stress-free.

That’s where a strategy makes all the difference.

Sometimes the best approach is to:
get the home ready now,
watch the market,
and choose your moment with confidence.

For buyers, this market offers something we haven’t seen in years — the consider-it-carefully pace that leads to better decisions.

So… should you move now or wait?

The real question is:
What are you trying to accomplish with your next move?

When we understand the goal, the timing becomes clear.

If you’re even thinking about a move — this spring or further down the road — we’re always happy to talk it through.

No pressure. Just guidance.
