Why should sell your home during the holidays? The Holidays are a Great Time to Sell a Home! In fact right now we are personally working with several buyer clients that can not find what they want and have looked at absolutely everything on the market! So if your considering selling your home soon…consider this.
Here are 11 Reasons why The Holidays are a Great Time to Sell a Home!
-
People who look for a home during the Holidays are more serious buyers! With so much to do this time of year why would anyone waste time to casually view homes?
-
Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you when you sell a home during the Holidays! Each year in December inventory drops to it’s yearly low.
-
Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home! Less demand means less money for you when you sell a home at this time of year! The selling season ramps up quick in January straight into the summer.
-
Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays! People love Holiday cheer!
-
Buyers are more emotional during the Holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price! People feel good and are nicer in December.
-
Buyers have more time to look for a home during the Holidays than they do during a working week! People are off work!
-
Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons! Motivation!
-
January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until Spring to buy, you must be on the market now to sell a home and capture that market. These buyers write stronger and better offers!
-
You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the Holidays! It’s your choice.
-
You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year! Have your cake and eat it too!
By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the Spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell a home high and buy low! Have your steak and potatoes!
