Ready, Set, Summer! Why Now Is the Time to List Your Home

If you thought the spring market was busy, just wait — summer is heating up, and so is the real estate activity here in Southwest Michigan!

The sunny season brings motivated buyers, longer daylight hours, and more flexible schedules for showings and moving. Whether you’re thinking about upgrading, downsizing, or relocating, now is a golden window to make your move.

Here’s why summer is a seller’s sweet spot:

Curb Appeal Is at Its Peak
Lush landscaping, blooming flowers, and green grass show your home in its best light — literally. Buyers are visual, and nothing says “welcome home” like a fresh, vibrant exterior.

School’s Out, Buyers Are In
Many families aim to move before the next school year begins. That means buyers are serious, and they’re ready to act fast to close before fall.

Inventory Is Still Catching Up
While more homes have come on the market, many areas are still experiencing low inventory — giving sellers a competitive edge and strong negotiating power.

Smooth Timing for Your Own Move
The summer months offer ideal weather and more time to coordinate your own transition, whether you’re staying local or heading out of state.

Thinking about listing? Here’s how I can help:
I’ll guide you through every step — from staging and pricing to marketing and negotiating — so your home stands out and sells for top dollar.
