When To List Your Beach Home for Maximum Selling Opportunity

The Summer Months provide the highest concentration of prospective real estate Buyers and, in turn, we typically see peak sales volumes during this busy time.

Home sales along 30A for second quarter of 2017 exceeded $454 million in sold volume – a 52% increase over the sold volume of the prior quarter (Q1 2017). Similarly, sales remained very strong into the later summer months, with $444 million in volume sold in the third quarter, 48% more sold than in quarter one. These sales statistics verify for us that opportunity for Sellers of 30A properties is at a peak in the summer months. This is the Selling Season as these months have historically proven to be seasonally superior sales months here at the beach. A key statistic that many do not factor is adequate market exposure time in advance of a sale. The days on market show that homes along the 30A corridor are selling in fewer than 6 months, which is encouraging news for Sellers! If the summer months provide the most opportune seasonal advantage, Sellers should begin marking their beach property in the winter months to be lined up for seasonal advantage.
