11 Reasons To List Your Home For Sale During This Holiday Season

Reasons To List Your Home For Sale This Holiday Season

Should you wait for spring to list your home for sale? Should you take your home off the market if you're already listed for sale? That "conventional wisdom" that says the holidays are not a good time to sell a home isn't all that wise and should be put to rest once and for all! 

 

There are lots of good reasons to list your home during the holiday season, not the least of which that you might very well sell more quickly and for more money as you'll be competing with fewer homes during the holidays. You might get fewer showings, but you'll get showings from serious and motivated buyers instead of "looky-loos" who are just "checking the market out" for when they're ready to buy come spring. Holiday season buyers typically have a deadline and have a need, rather than just a want, to buy NOW.

 

 

 

 

 

So don't hesitate to list your home for the upcoming holiday season. Here are 11 great reasons to do so. Call Nina Hollander/Carolinas Realty Partners with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. We've been selling "holiday homes" throughout the Charlotte region for 20+ years.

Hi Nina Hollander, during the holidays is one of the best times to list a house for sale. Sellers just have to remember the fact that their house is on the show for all serious buyers.

Beth Atalay hi Beth... I'm always astounded by the number of people who say "the holidays are coming, maybe we should wait till spring."

Nina, all great reasons for holiday listing! I still use my example of showing three different buyers homes on Christmas Eve & three on New Years Eve one year...all six bought those homes...true story!

Hi Nina,
Yes, the holiday season is one of the best times to have a home listed... for all the reasons you mentioned. It is a bit more convenient but to sell quickly and for a good price, it's worth it.

Morning Nina.

I agree with number 3 and 7 being the best reason in my opinion.  Make it a great day

Nick T Pappas good morning, Nick... I'd totally believe that. I've written many a contract on New Year's Eve day. Not so much on Christmas Eve or Christmas, as I never work on those days.

Carol Williams hi Carol... as I've often said to clients... you may have fewer people looking, but the ones who do are serious.

George Souto good morning, George... what could be a nicer "gift" for Christmas than a new home in which to start off the new year?

James Dray good morning, James. Those are good reasons, but so are #1 and #2.

Good morning Nina. Why not an even dozen? Eleven catches more attention for being one short! Enjoy your day!

Wayne Martin hi Wayne... I like odd numbers, that's why! Everything I've read about writing blogs like this is to use a number that's not expected. That's also why I often do a baker's dozen, i.e., 13 and not 12.

That is a great video and those are all great reasons for someone to not be afraid to list their home for sale during the holiday season!

Brian England thanks, Brian. I'm on a bit of "mission" to make sure people understand that spring is not the only good season in which to sell their homes.

Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 good morning, Georgie... that's why I post this now as opposed to waiting another week or two... plenty of time list and closed by end of year.

Nina Hollander the holidays were always good for me. I figured with half of the agents in town being snowbirds it's easy for me to clean up with just a little extra effort.

Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... I've always done a lot of new construction contracts last week in December... builders start pulling out some great "specials" for contracts signed by mid-night December 31.
