Reasons to Sell Your Home in a 55+ Community in the Fall or Winter

June 9, 2022

There are many reasons to wait until fall or winter to list your home in Lake Ashton, Traditions at Lake Ruby, Vienna Square and the Estates of Carlsberg.  All of these communities are 55+ communities in Central Florida. During the fall and winter, snowbirds visit and the weather is perfect for touring homes. With the influx of visitor and Northern Friends in the 55+ communities, homes tend to sell faster in these communities during this time of the year.

Is that typical for the Florida Real Estate Market?

However, 2020 and 2021 are anything but normal. Florida saw a mass influx of people moving into the state throughout the year causing Inventory numbers to drop quickly.

Real Estate took on a whole new “face”. Low interest rates and flexibility with at home work schedules were incentives for Buyers to make a move and purchase homes in Florida 55 Plus communities.
