’Tis the Season to Sell Your Charlotte Area Home!
Each year, homeowners planning to make a move are faced with a decision: sell their house during the holidays or wait. Others who have already listed their homes may think about removing their homes from MLS and stopping showings. They often wait until the new year before they put their homes back on the market.
The truth is, there are many buyers out there who WANT to purchase a home for the holidays - your home might just be the one they’re looking for. Here are five great reasons that NOW really IS the season to sell your house.
1. While the supply of homes for sale has increased in 2022, there still aren’t enough homes on the market to keep up with buyer demand. As Nadia Evangelou, Senior Economist & Director of Forecasting at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), explains:
“There’s still this gap between demand and supply because we were under-building for many years. . . . So now we see demand is slowing, but it still outpaces supply.”
2. Serious homebuyers are out looking - and they are looking right NOW. Today, millennials are driving homebuying demand and many are quite eager to buy their first or second homes.
3. The desire to own a home doesn’t stop during the holidays. In fact, homes tastefully decorated for the holidays actually appeal to many buyers. Plus, purchasers who look for homes during the holidays are ready to buy.
4. Worried that showings will interfere with your home entertainment plans? Simply restrict the showings in your house to days and times that are not times you are hosting events or have guests in your home. This strategy can help minimize disruptions for you, but remember, keep those limitations to a minimum as every showing can bring THE buyer for your home!
5. Rents have skyrocketed in recent years - in fact, many have risen more than inflation and will continue to do so! Many homebuyers are looking to escape rising rents and avoid falling into the rental trap for another year. Your home very well could be their ticket to homeownership.
