After 20+ Years in the Real Estate business, we have noticed some trends that most consumers who are thinking of selling their home don’t know.
Here is a list we have accumulated over the years to help Home Sellers understand that the Holidays are a GREAT time to put their home on the market.
10 REASONS TO LIST DURING THE HOLIDAYS VS. WAITING UNTIL JANUARY:
- While there may be fewer buyers out there, people that are looking for a home during the holidays are serious buyers and ready to buy.
- There are fewer homes for buyers to look at during the holidays, which means there is less competition for you as a seller. Less Competition = Higher Price
- After the holidays, the supply of listings increases substantially, which lowers the demand for your home . More Competition = Lower Price
- Your home shows better when decorated for the Holidays
- Many buyers have more time to look for proeprty during the holidays. Typically more time off from work. Partners can look together
- You can sell now for money and not have to physically move until January or February as opposed to getting the process started later. Lost in other listings, it could take longer to sell.
- For those sellers concerned about showing during the holidays, we will restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You will remain in control.
- Buyers think there is less competition from other buyers during the Holidays.
- Relocation buyers are still out there. Companies not concerned about Holiday time and if they have kids they want to get them into school after the Holidays.
- Buyers are Online shopping during the Holidays. Even for Homes!
