The floral landscaping during the late Spring are very inviting to selling your Oxford home by adding curb appeal.
Late April and May bring a lot of tourism to Oxford
Spring in Oxford is full of events that bring a lot of tourism. The Double Decker Arts Festival, Ole Miss baseball, and graduation bring tens of thousands to Oxford for the entire weekend. For those considering a home in Oxford, this can be a great time to have your house listed, so potential buyers can drive by your property while in town or even search online before making the trip.
Nicer weather for selling your Oxford home
After a cold, dreary, rainy winter, people enjoy getting out and looking at homes while the weather is pleasant. Spring in Oxford is the best time to showcase a green yard with plenty of colorful flowers. The temperatures are usually pretty nice as well – mid to upper 70’s, sometimes 80 F.
Transferring school districts is a factor
By May, some buyers will be eager to settle into their new homes before the upcoming school year to make a smooth transition. For the seller, this means that the buyer may be willing to pay a premium to close the deal.
This trend of the Spring seller’s market is also consistent with the national average of homes sold. The low supply of homes on the market results in homes receiving multiple offers from multiple buyers, hence driving the price higher for sellers.
