Should I Wait for Spring to Sell My Sudbury House? | Realtor Q&A
Should you wait for spring to sell your Sudbury house?
Spring is the busiest season, but it’s not always the best time for every seller. Sudbury realtor Tanya Vanden Berg explains that the right timing depends more on your home’s condition, pricing strategy, and neighbourhood than the month itself.
Spring brings high buyer activity. Homes show better, families prepare to move before summer, and listings in New Sudbury, the South End, and Garson often sell faster. But competition is also higher. More listings hit the market in April and May, so your home must stand out with strong photos, great curb appeal, and accurate pricing.
Selling in fall or winter can work extremely well too. There are fewer homes listed, which means motivated buyers have limited options. Tanya often sees well-priced winter listings sell quickly because they attract serious buyers who can’t wait for spring. These buyers are often relocating for work or need to move due to life changes.
Market conditions matter more than the season. If interest rates drop, if your neighbourhood is in high demand, or if inventory is low, listing earlier can benefit you. Waiting for spring could mean missing your best window.
A well-prepped, competitively priced home can sell in any season. Tanya reviews your property, the current Sudbury market, and upcoming seasonal trends to help you make the best decision for your timeline.
