With the holiday season right around the corner many sellers are wondering if they should keep their home on the market or wait for brighter days. Before I get into that here's a great video to get you in the mood.

Now back to the business of selling your home during the crazy holiday season.  Rule number one, ensure you have the right price.  It's important to ensure you are priced to move in the next 30 days.  Next to get your home sold in this environment you can't just be competitive you must be compelling.  In The Seattle Times published a great article by Lisa Pemberton-Butler it outlines Do's & Don'ts of holiday home sales.

To get your home sold during the holidays DO:

  • Keep your home warm, if you have a fireplace gas or wood, keep it going.
  • Keep the home well lit, put up Christmas lights just don't go too crazy.
  • Be accommodating, this will separate you from many other home sellers during the holiday season.

To get your home sold during the holidays DON'T:

  • Overdo holiday decor. A nice holiday wreath on the door or a modest tree would be perfect.
  • Go overboard with holiday aromas. Less is more.
  • Be a "Scroodge" be realistic with the price your expected to get for your home.
In conclusion, remember you can sell your home during the Holidaze.  Just remember to price it right and remember your dos and don'ts.

I alwys recommend that my sellers keep their homes on the market during the holidays and through the winter when there is so much less competition!  I just got an offer today on a house I thought would languish on the market.  Happy Thanksgiving for one happy seller!

I've noticed that some homes have a special character in the winter, making them homier, cozier, a place you want to relax by the fire.  These homes would be especially good to have on the market now.
