Should You Sell Your Mobile Home In The Summer?

It is hot outside and there is no doubt that the summer is in full force here in the greater Sarasota Florida area.

With the heat cranking up, many mobile home Sellers will begin considering selling their mobile homes in order to move back north for the rest of the summer months.

What these mobile home Sellers may consider is holding off on selling their mobile home until the end of the summer in hopes that they will be able to capture the first group of snowbirds coming down to the Sarasota Florida area looking for a second home.

But, is waiting to sell your Sarasota Florida mobile home in the fall a better idea or, if you are looking to sell, should you go ahead and look to sell your mobile home now in the summer?

Many Sellers look only want to sell their homes in the fall as they feel that the summer months are a slower time of year with fewer Buyers looking to buy mobile homes, we here at the Mobile Home Dealer can not disagree with this belief anymore.

Let us explain!

When looking to sell your Sarasota Florida area mobile home one needs to always consider two important attributes to each component:

  • The Sales Price
  • How The Mobile Home Is Marketed

Sales Price:

Most mobile home Sellers are looking for the same three things when purchasing a home. These Sellers want the home to be safe clean and affordable. When looking to sell your mobile home, regardless of what time of year it is, it is important to look at pricing your home as competitively as possible so that you are able to get the most eyes on it the fastest.

Marketing:

So many times we see sellers not know how to market their home correctly and, as such, are stuck holding on to their property longer than anticipated. Or, worse yet, they take a lower offer on their home than what they could have gotten simply because they are taking the first and, oftentimes, the only offer that comes in the door. The less marketing that is done the fewer offers will present themselves.

Any time of year is a great time to look for and sell a mobile home in and around the greater Sarasota Florida area.

The reason for this is that folks are looking to move down to Florida all the time and are actively looking to purchase a safe, clean and affordable home. This Buyer is not normally looking to buy only one or two times a year but, rather, year-round.

The key to getting your mobile home sold all year round is to have the home priced correctly and marketed like crazy. Putting a For Sale sign in the front yard may get some calls but rarely will it provide a qualified Buyer. 

Most snowbirds are looking for fun and are weighing their options between the current home they are renting and actually moving forward with the purchase of their own mobile home.

With this understanding, we at The Mobile Home Dealer, feel that selling your mobile home any time of the year is the best time and not to hold out and gamble on a snowbird buying your mobile home right when they arrive or right before they look to leave.

Deciding whether or not to put your mobile home for sale depends on several factors. In the first place, it is important to analyze in what situation is the sector; That is, if it is an optimal moment objectively speaking or if on the contrary, it is better to wait to see how the market evolves.

Regardless of the above, each owner must carefully analyze what their economic and vital needs are. However, as we have said, it is a good time to put a mobile home for sale.

As we have mentioned many times, the sales prices of mobile homes will continue to rise. Of course, within the limits considered normal, so, for now, experts discard a real estate bubble.

The main reason why it is a good time to sell a home all year round is that there is a great shortage of offers.  To this, we must add that potential buyers are more willing to invest in a mobile home that interests them, always, as we say, within limits that are considered normal.

Florida is deemed a destination location for many and mobile homes will sell year-round very quickly so long as the home is priced right and marketed correctly.

If the Seller waits to hold off until summer’s end to try and sell their mobile home to a snowbird they will run the risk of selling with quite a bit more competition and this can certainly lead to their home being overlooked.

If you or someone you know are looking to sell their Sarasota Florida area mobile home always look to sell it any time of the year but, before you do, make sure the home is priced right and marketed correctly so you get the most eyes on it in as little of time as possible!
