If you're a homeowner in Wescott and wondering whether now is a good time to sell, the short answer is yes.

Homes are still going under contract, and buyers are still choosing Wescott. In fact, there are currently more homes under contract than many homeowners might expect given today's interest rates and economic uncertainty.

But there is an important difference between today's market and the market we experienced a few years ago.

Buyers are no longer willing to overlook pricing mistakes.

The homes that are priced appropriately and show well are attracting attention and going under contract. The homes that are overpriced are sitting on the market longer and often requiring price reductions before buyers become interested.

Detached homes continue to generate the strongest activity, particularly in the middle price ranges where buyers feel they are receiving good value. Townhomes and duplexes are also selling, especially among first-time buyers and those looking for less maintenance, but they are facing the same reality: buyers are comparing options carefully.

The good news for sellers is that Wescott remains a desirable community. Buyers are drawn to the established neighborhoods, mature trees, golf course, clubhouse, nearby shopping, restaurants, and the overall convenience of daily life in the area.

What does that mean for homeowners?

It means this is a good market to sell in if you enter the market with realistic expectations. Buyers are still here. They are still writing contracts. They simply want the price, condition, and value to make sense.

The sellers who understand that are the ones having the most success.
