The Timeline of a House Sale in Westchester County

The Timeline of a House Sale in Westchester County

Last week, my seller-clients at 207 Manhattan Avenue in Hawthorne accepted an offer on their home of 41 years. We’ve discussed this sale for years, considering market conditions, timing, and the home’s value. Despite the nervousness of moving, a family illness prompted them to act. Here’s how it unfolded:

• March 30th: The sellers gave a tour of the home, and we discussed steps to prepare it for the market.

• June 13th: Our professional photographer captured still, aerial, and 3D images to be used in our home marketing campaign.

• June 17th: The home was listed as “Coming Soon.” The marketing campaign kicks off.

• June 20th: Property tours began, with 7 on the first day.

• June 22nd: The public open house attracts over 40 visitors. Many from signage displayed throughout the community.

• June 24th: By the 4th day on the market, multiple bids are received. All interested buyers are requested to submit their “Highest and Best” offers by June 26th.

• June 27th: The sellers accept an offer that is significantly over asking, with favorable terms, from a total of 8 offers.

Ralph’s Take

I couldn’t be more excited for Patty and Lou. Knowing they lived in this home for over 40 years, raising their children, and making countless memories, it’s an honor to be a part of their transition to their next home. The homebuyers with the accepted offer look forward to raising their 9-year-old child in the home. Congratulations to all.
