The Top 10 Reasons you should list your home during the holidays

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Preferred Realty

 

10.  By selling now, you have the opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring - when many more houses are on the market for less money.  You can sell high and buy low!

 

9.  You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.

 

8.  Even though your house will be on the market, we give you the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the holidays.

 

7.  January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs.  Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the holidays to capture that market.

 

6.  Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons.

 

5.  Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than during the regular work week.

 

4.  Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price.

 

3.  Houses show better when decorated for the holidays.

 

2.  Since the supply of listings will dramatically decrease during the holidays.  You will have more demand for fewer properties.  More demand means more money for you.

 

1.  People who look at homes during the holidays are quite serious about buying a home.

Hmmm... those are some very good points, especially Point #1. How is the market there in Minnesota? We are still struggling here n Az, lots of foreclosures and more on the way.
