Here's an article from my upcoming newsletter:
Listing during Holiday Season
Homeowners planning on selling their properties soon have many decisions to make. Chief among these decisions is when to list the property. There is a natural tendency to put off the actual property listing until sometime ‘after the holidays'. But there are compelling reasons to list right before & during the season that could prove advantageous to home sellers, as follow:
•· Less Competition: Since other home owners may be waiting until the new year to list, homes already on the market have the field all to themselves;
•· Serious Buyers: Serious buyers don't quit looking because of the holidays. Relocated employees that have to be in place by the new year, in particular, look & buy during the season;
•· Moving Companies: By selling in the last or first quarter of the year, it may be much easier to schedule the move with the moving company because this is considered the moving industry's ‘slow' time of the year;
•· Holiday Beauty: Many homes look their best during this time of year because of the seasonal decorations. Why not take advantage of that beauty to show off the home?
