Hi,
I would recommend making it vacant.
Traditional Owner occupant financing requires the buyer to take possession within 60 days. Having the tenant makes it:
A) harder to show the property, making it harder to sell
B) prevents a majority of owner occupant buyers from being able to offer on the home. So with only a majority of investor buyers, your sold price will be lower.
You can sell it occupied, but if lease ends soon, I would suggest making it vacant, painting interior, cleaning it, etc. this will get you the most money.
I have connections for all those services
This year will be like the last two years. Which means we will start to slow down in late July, and then enter the winter slow season in October.
Assuming rates remain above six percent, I’m guessing the spring market will kick back up in February. Just like the last two years.
Right now we are still in the sellers busy summer market.
You can of course sell from September to February, but there is less buyer demand. So your sold price would likely be less than selling in spring/summer
