Yes, you can and let’s just do it! I made my list and I checked it twice:
1. People who look at your home during the holidays are more serious buyers. Most of these buyers who come to your home are not “looky loos.” They are busy as well during this time of year and want to get down to business.
2. The serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from during the holidays and this means less competition for you.
3. Some buyers have more time and more vacations hours saved during this time of year and can concentrate on buying a home. And if they find the right home, they usually want to be in their new home as soon as possible. With that said, if it is easier for the seller to wait, you can always ask for an extended close date.
4. Some folks must buy a home before the end of the year for tax purposes.
5. January is traditionally a month where employers have to move so they can’t wait until spring.
6. The holiday season adds an ambience that often shows homes in their best light. The neighborhood also looks better with homes decorated. It adds a good feel when the homes smell good and the neighborhood is decorated!
7. By selling now you have the opportunity to be on your way for the New Year!
This may be a very busy time of year and selling your home will certainly add stress to your already busy schedule; however, the rewards may be enough to motivate you to continue with this project. With all of this said, if this is not a good time for you then please just wait and throw away my list! Your realtor will need and want your full cooperation when listing your home to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your home. Yes, there are benefits to selling your home during the holidays but only if you are onboard.
