As we gradually emerge from winter into the beginnings of spring, many homeowners wonder if this time of year is opportune for selling a home.  According to the KCM crew, spring is a great opportunity for homeowners to sell.  Here are 5 great reasons to sell your home in the spring.

1. The most serious buyers are out now.  The market heats up April - June, and many buyers are aware of this.  For this reason, ready and able buyers with a serious need are the ones that will be looking at your property (and make the process easier for you!)
2. There is less competition.  Mid-spring, housing supply typically begins to increase.  The more choices your buyers have, the more competition you will have to sell your place.  The earlier in spring you are able to sell the better.
3. The process is quicker.  In the beginnings of spring, banks are relatively light on loan inquiries, which means your paperwork will be at the top of the stack.  This will not be the case as summer approaches, so it is beneficial to sell earlier to ensure an expedited process.
4. Now is the best time to move-up.  If you're thinking of upgrading to a more expensive home, now is the opportune time.  Prices are projected to appreciate by 19% from now until 2018, and mortgage interest rates are on the rise as well.  Waiting to sell your current home and buy a new one will wind up costing you more by waiting.
5. It's time to move on.  Think of the reason that you've decided to sell in the first place.  Is money more important than being with your family, or your health?  Moving forward on your decision to sell your home will help you move on with your life, and let you take control of the situation in the best way possible.
