Frank Yan of Sacramento on The Best Time To Sell Your Property







For many years in Sacramento, Frank Yan has seen that There are a few periods during a year when it is the best time to sell a house and a few of periods when it is definitely not the best idea. Frank Yan will share what to look at both these periods and find why it is a good or bad time to sell.

If you ask an estate agent that question of course, they will tell you any time is a good time sell. This is because they are after your business and want to list your property

Best Times To Sell Your Property
The best time to sell and list your property for sale is when the market is flooded with buyers and investors. These potential buyers and investors will try to outbid each other for the properties on offer and this will tend to push prices up right up. Take full advantage of this by marketing your home at this point.

However, within the past few years, especially in Sacramento, properties have been selling unite rapidly as the market is beginning to rebound from the past foreclosures from failed and toxic loans. The seasons generally determine the best times to sell and achieve a quick, profitable sale.


The best season that Frank Yan has seen and experienced is to sell your property is during the Spring season. It is typically a time for fresh starts for most buyers, new beginnings and the time when most people get the urge to look for a bigger, and even a better home. When the weather is improving, lawns, flower beds, gardens are looking healthier and prettier, and your property will be looking its best in better weather.


From mid March through to early July the market will be much, busier than at any other time of the year and it is the ideal time to put your property on the market.

It may not always possible to for a homeowner to put their property up for sale in the Spring so another good time to sell is a couple of months in Autumn. This isn’t as good a time as the March-July window, but it is still decent.

Summer holidays and those people that have children can focus on the house hunting while school is out. The summer weather is still acceptable and some people want to move before fall weather arrives.


The best months according to Franks experience are September and October, though you may be ok in the first couple of weeks of November. After that, the market will die off very fast since people will begin to think about the holidays.

Bad Times To Sell Your Property

Winter of course is an obviously bad time to try to sell your home. The combination of the school holidays, weather, and money spent on holiday gifts means that potential buyers are not really inclined to search for homes.

November and December are probably the worst months for the housing market and it only really begins to pick up towards the end of January.

Surprisingly, sometimes Summer can also be bad time to try and sell, especially in August when fall hits. You might think with decent weather it would be the ideal time but because of school holidays it could get challenging.

Spring through early Autumn, is definitely the best time of year to sell your property. So find yourself a good and honest realtor and begin showing your home when the market is at its busiest and hopefully you’ll find a quick, profitable sale.

Let's face it, Frank Yan of Sacramento says that we are all looking to reduce costs some how, whether it is just to make spending less than we earn and get by, or because we should be putting more away for the kids college and for retirement. Frank Yan had put together a checklist of ways you could possibly save money.You may save just a fraction little, or a whole lot, but either way it all counts if it ends up in the right place your bank account

Before you go down this list, let's begin gathering all of your monthly bills and put them in one place. It helps to track all of your expenses for thirty days (you’ll be amazed what you waste money on) Prepare a spreadsheet that accounts for your income and every one of your expenses, whether they’re daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. From there it is like a fun game to
go down the list to see how much you can save as you keep tracking the next few months expenditures.

1. Refinance your home mortgage.
Frank Yan has saved many consumers in Sacramento and arcross the States by helping those consumers re-mortgage their home. By calling a mortgage broker or your current lender and see if you can take advantage of today’s current interest rates.Even the difference of 1% in interest rate can save you tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.

2. Shop out your homeowners insurance.
Call your homeowners insurance representative and ask if there are better policy prices, or shop around for other insurance carriers a little. Frank Yan has learned that Simple things
alarm service may also lower your homeowner’s bill.

3. Always get your property taxes reassessed.
When your price of your propety goes up in value, your county and city taxes you more based on the value of your property. The same with when your property value goes down, you may be eligible for a property tax reduction. Call your local assessor’s office and you should never pay anyone to submit the application for you.

4. Bundle your internet, cable, and home phone services together.
These 3 services can get time consuming as wellas expensive, so give a few carriers a call and ask about bundled packages to save money.

5. Review your cell phone plan.
Contact your carrier and ask to review your usage of minutes and the plan. You may be over paying for something you never use. If their are multiple cell phone users in your family, consider a shared family plan. In addition if you have a home phone that you don’t really need, it’s a good time to cancel it.

6. Ask your credit cards companies to lower APRs.
Credit cards will always reward good customers with lower APRs, or by fixing a low interest rate if you’re in a variable one.It’s a good time to get a grasp on how much you owe and what your repayment plan is if you owe more than 30% of your total available balance and/or are paying only minimum payments every month, it’s time to make a money-saving change.

7. Re price your auto insurance.
Every year, your car gets a year older and your driving record may have changed That means it’s time to call your insurance agent and ask if there are any discounts available or higher
deductible plans.

8. Always know your credit score.
Every year, inaccuracies, errors and even old items can cost many consumers countless millions of dollars. Frank Yan suggests that you should pull your credit every 6 months. (you can do it once for free with each bureau) and make sure your credit is clean. A good score can save you a bundle when it comes time to applying for a home loan, refinancing, getting an auto or business loan, or even when applying for insurance.

9. Check your health insurance premiums.
You can save money if you don't go to the doctor much or even if you lost a few lbs or want to increase your deductible. It never hurts to ask, or shop around.

10. Check for bank fees and credit card annual fees.
Adding insult to injury, many financial institutions charge US for the privilege of making THEM money.But that doesn’t mean you need to stand for it check to see what kind of fees your bank and credit card companies are charging you and don’t be afraid to take your business elsewhere.
