It's that time of year when the market shifts and shows less inventory. With that being said, this IS the time to put your home on the market. Relocation buyers AND local buyers are motivated to buy especially if they have just put their home under contract or want to be in a new home by late winter or Spring 2020. The Holidays gives buyers more time and flexibility away from work to look at property. The reality is that the Gallatin Valley remains a highly desirable place to live. Lastly, we have seen average days on market decrease this fall.

Note: There can be flexibility to negotiate your closing date. While we can't guarantee this, it's possible.  

If you're considering putting your house on the market this winter, we are happy to help guide you

This is an interesting topic that has come up. While the Bozeman real estate market is strong for sellers at this time, our advice to most sellers is of course to list!

However, this recommendation is to those sellers looking to list with an agent, not necessarily for a For Sale By Owner. Clearly, our approach listing a property in the MLS with a custom, robust marketing campaign is not the same style and approach that a for sale by owner can do himself or herself.  

It's not an apples to apples situation. So when considering listing your property this winter and over the holidays, we've broken down some key things to consider.

- Showings and Phone Calls
Listed w/ an Agent: Selling during the winter requires an agent to show the property and be available

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY 
While many agents will say they will take "great" photos of your property, what does that actually mean?  

- Are they using a professional high end camera lense or their iPhone7?
- Are they hiring a professional photographer who understands lighting and angles? 
- Have you seen photos of their other listings? What is the quality like? 

BAD PHOTOS - CAUSE & EFFECT: Your first impression of a home are in fact the PHOTOS. When we see dark photos, blurry images, a glare on every other photo, that doesn't excite a buyer nor an Agent to request a showing. We shop with our eyes. Could the handful of blurry, dark photos be the reason why your property has not received an offer or a good offer for that matter?
