The Mike Ferry Organization has been tracking the highest producing agents across the country for years. They encourage us to tell the public the many great reasons to list their home during the holidays. Consumers often say they want to wait until after the first of they year. They don't realize they are losing great exposure to buyers. Buyers are out buying right now and there is a lot less competition now than in the Spring/Summer months. There is even less competition today than after the first of the year. So, let's get your home on the market today and get it sold.
Here are the Top Reasons to List Your Home During the Holidays: 
1. Buyers who look during the holidays are more serious.
2. Buyers are better prepared and make faster decisions.
3. There are fewer homes on the market so sellers have less competition. Sellers get more money for their homes when they have less competition!
4. Houses "show better" when decorated for the holidays.
5. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays and often base their decisions on the good feelings they receive when viewing the home.
6. Buyers have more time to look for homes during the holidays.
7. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons.
8. January is traditionally the month for job transfers. Transferees can't wait until the spring to buy. These buyers need a home now and houses must be in our multiple listing system to capture these buyers.
9. Sellers can restrict showings during personal family events and still take advantage of their homes being marketed to potential buyers.
10. Sellers can sell now with a delayed closing after the first of the year.
11. By selling now sellers have the opportunity to buy when more properties are on the market.
