10 Reasons to List Your Home during the Holiday's!!

 The holiday season is almost here and contrary to what most people think about real estate, homes in Monroe County, Pa are selling! This includes areas like Stroudsburg, east Stroudsburg, Marshall's Creek & Tannersville... most Sellers believe that the holiday's are a bad time to sell but here are the top 10 reasons Sellers SHOULD put their home on the market THIS holiday season...

 

10) You can Sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or

      extend occupancy until after the new year..

 

9) You can have restrictive showings around the holiday's or times when you are having events at your  

    home...

 

8) Buyers who are Transferees usually start that new job in January so they will be out looking the last

    quarter of the year....

 

7) Some Buyers must buy before January for tax reasons...

 

6) Buyers seem to have more time to look at homes during the holiday season.. Many

    have Holiday vacations & personal vacations to take prior to the new year...

 

5) Buyers are more likely to pay your price, they feel that they have to give a little more

    during the holidays plus they also feel they need to compensate for having sellers pack  

    up all their belongings during the holiday season.

 

4) Everyone usually cleans more during the holiday season so your home shows much    

    better & in tip-top shape... the smell of pinecones, baked apple pie, cinnamon all help  

    to make your home sell faster & for more money...

 

3) Supply & Demand..... Fewer homes are on the market during the holidays so you have

    a better chance of selling and for more money. Fewer homes could mean a higher

    demand for your home!

 

2) Don't wait for Spring!! Everyone & their Grandmother puts their house on the market

    in the Spring & the demand goes way down because of all the new listings to see...

    This will make the sale of your home take longer... Less Demand = Less Money...

    Some Buyers feel overwhelmed when they have too many homes to choose from or

    they believe that if they wait longer even a better deal will emerge.

 

The #1 reason to List your Home FOR SALE in the Pocono's during the Holiday's is:

 

Only the MOST Serious Motivated Buyers are looking at homes in the Winter!!
