Destin Florida Real Estate-Listing Your Home During The Holidays
And Just like that, another holiday season is upon us. It seems as I age these holidays keep coming around more quickly. Destin home sellers often ask, "Should I wait until after the holidays to sell?" The quick answer is it depends on your schedule.
Does cashing in now makes sense, or would you rather have this chapter closed in 2024? If it's just about netting the most money, my advice is to go ahead and put your home on the market. Let's looks at some reasons a holiday listing is a solid choice.
Reasons To List Your Destin Florida Home During The Holidays
1) The Fall season marks the arrival of snowbirds-- These folks flee colder climates and spend 3-4 months along our sugar white beaches (can't really blame them). After renting a couple of years, many will purchase a local home or condo. In most cases they can rent it during the hot season, then have a place to stay during the winter. And if you list in 2024, you will miss them!
2) Great house hunting weather--More than the market heats up in summer. Looking at 10-15 homes during the July heat is a monster. Many serious buyers will wait until later in the year (cooler temps and easier showing access).
3) Investors go shopping in the fourth quarter- For certain investors there are tax advantages to spending money before the end of the year. A January 2nd listing date misses this...
4) Less hassle- Buyers who look in the fourth quarter generally have a purpose. There are fewer tire kickers/ professional lookers during winter. Worried about specific holiday events/dates? No problem! We can mark off certain days (even weeks) if needed. While off the showing list, we can still do aggressive internet marketing.
