10 Reasons to list your home during the Holidays vs. waiting for January
Posted in Real Estate News
- While there may be fewer buyers out there, people that are looking for a home during the holidays are serious buyers.
- There are fewer homes for buyers to look at during the holidays, which means there is less competition for you as a seller. Less competition = more money.
- After the holidays, the supply of listings increases substantially, which lowers the demand for your home. More competition = less money.
- Your home shows better when you’ve decorated for the holidays.
- Many buyers have more time to look for property during the holidays. Typically more time off from work. Partners can look together.
- For those sellers concerned about showing during the holidays, we will restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You will remain in control.
- You can sell now for more money and not have to physically move until January or February as opposed to getting the process started later. Lost in other listings, it could take longer to sell.
- Buyers think there is less competition from other buyers during the holidays.
- Relocation buyers are still out there. Companies are not concerned about holiday time and if they have kids they want to get them into school after the holidays.
- Virtual tour will look better this time of year.
