Selling My Home During the Holidays

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
10 Good Reasons to Sell Your Home During the Holidays.
 
1. People looking are more serious Buyers.
 
2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from, less inventory available, so you have less competition.
 
3. Houses "show better" with Holiday decor.
 
4. After the holidays the supply of listings increases substantially which lowers the demand for your home.
 
5. Buyers are more emotional.
 
6. Buyers have more time to look during the holiday, as opposed to normal work schedules at non-seasonal times.
 
7. Many people will buy by year-end for taxes.
 
8. January is the month for transfers. Transferees cannot wait until spring; you must be on the market!!
 
9. You can sell now, but specify a delayed closing or extend occupancy until early next year if you desire.
 
10. By selling now you have an opportunity to buy during the spring, when many houses are on the market.
 
Bottom Line: By listing now, you may have fewer actual showings, but more qualified buyers.
The Reason: You have less competition.
