Is it Time to Put Your House Back on the Market?
If you removed your house from the market in late 2024, you weren’t alone. Nationwide, nearly 73,000 houses were withdrawn in December—the highest number since 2017. But with buyer activity increasing and Williamsburg’s real estate market showing positive momentum, now may be the perfect time to relist.
Why Selling this Spring Makes Sense
Spring is historically the busiest season for home sales, and Williamsburg is seeing strong signs of buyer demand. Not only do more buyers enter the market during this time, but houses also show better in spring thanks to lush foliage, blooming flowers, and enhanced curb appeal. Williamsburg’s tree-lined streets and well-manicured neighborhoods create a picturesque setting, making properties feel even more inviting. Combined with longer daylight hours, which allow for brighter listing photos and more flexible showing times, spring provides the perfect conditions to attract buyers and maximize your house’s value. Here’s why this season is ideal for sellers:
House Prices Are Up
The median house price in Williamsburg has increased 14.4% year-over-year.
Houses Are Selling Faster
Properties are going under contract in 9 days on average, compared to 26 days last year.
Low Inventory = Less Competition
The number of available houses remains tight, making well-priced properties highly desirable.
How to Sell Successfully this Time
If your house didn’t sell before, consider adjusting your approach:
Price It Strategically
Overpricing pushes buyers away. A competitive price can lead to more interest and potential multiple offers.
Update Marketing Efforts
Refresh your listing with new photos, virtual tours, or staging to highlight its best features.
Be Flexible with Showings
Buyers need to see your house on their schedule—more availability can lead to a quicker sale.
Bottom Line
The Williamsburg housing market is gaining momentum, and waiting may mean more competition from other sellers later this year. If you’re thinking about relisting, let’s connect and develop a strategy to help your house sell quickly and for the best possible price.
