Top 10 Reasons to List Your Home During the Holidays
Spring is generally the most popular time of year to sell a house, with swarms of buyers looking to move into a new place before the school year begins. So, you may be surprised that there are actually advantages to selling your home in the winter – here’s our top 10 reasons to list your home during the holidays!
- People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers.
- Serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from during this time of year, so your home has less competition.
- Less competition means more money for you.
- Buyers usually have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a regular work week.
-
Studies show staged homes sell faster and for more money. Create an emotional connection with buyers through holiday decorations and winter features like fireplaces, heated floors, and hot tubs.
- You can sell now [for more money], and delay closing until early next year.
- January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Transfers cannot wait until spring to buy, so list your home now to capture that market.
- Selling now allows you the opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring when more homes are on the market for less money. This will allow you to sell high and buy low.
- The supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, so there will be less demand for your home. [Less demand = less money for you].
- Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons, making them more motivated to make a decision.
