Is Now a Good Time to Sell?

Is now a good time to sell or lease? Savannah Dunn and Glynn Crutsinger explain that the "right time" isn't about the calendar — it's about preparation, pricing, and motivation. In Texas, the real spring market often begins in January, and even slower winter months attract highly motivated buyers and renters. Whether selling or leasing, success comes from launching with the right price, professional marketing, fast follow-up, and a strategy built around your personal goals — because homes sell in every market, and clarity is what turns timing into opportunity.

Top Takeaways

• Spring really starts in January in Texas real estate.
  Waiting until March or April often means missing the strongest buyer and renter demand that starts as early as January and February.

• Winter isn't "dead" — it's just more serious.
  Fewer showings, but the people touring homes in winter usually have to move, making them more motivated and often better negotiators.

• You can't "test pricing" the same way on sales as you can on rentals.
  Rental pricing can be adjusted after launch based on showing activity — but sale listings must be priced right from day one or buyers smell blood in the water.

• Preparation beats timing.
  A good listing takes 1–2 weeks to prep (repairs, photos, marketing). Waiting until the last minute makes everything harder and more expensive.

• Professional photos and clear listings drive higher offers.
  Homes that look great online and clearly explain terms, deposits, and requirements get more interest and better pricing.

• Speed matters more than most people realize.
  Missed calls, delayed follow-ups, or slow responses cause buyers and tenants to move on — even if your home was perfect.

• The market changes week by week — not season by season.
  New listings, rate changes, or inventory shifts can change your best strategy fast, which is why staying flexible beats waiting.
