Most new sellers will decide to wait until the first of the year or even springtime to put their homes up for sale. They don't want to deal with the hassle. But listings will increase dramatically after the holidays which is a good reason to list your home now during the holiday season. There is less competition now due to the reduced inventory. This means more buyers! Anyone who takes time out of their busy holiday schedule to shop for a new home is a serious buyer. By listing your home now you may have the opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer when more houses are on the market.
1) Hire a reliable real estate agent that isn't going to disappear during the holidays. We always offer full service listings for less.
2) Decorate your home but don't go overboard. Homes often look best when decorated for the holidays.
3) Keep their attention by making sure your home is priced to sell and that your home is in “show” condition at all times.
4) Make curb appeal a top priority. Keep safety in mind by making sure stairs and walkways are free of snow, ice and leaves.
5) When the weather outside is cold buyers will start their house hunt from the comfort of their homes. Be sure your real estate agent is making a good first impression by offering lots of flattering, high-quality photos of your home.
