1. Serious Buyers are searching for homes during the holiday season. Only people who are ready to make the move are going to spend their precious holiday time house hunting.
2. Because people are busy with family, friends, parties and travel during the holiday season, they delay putting their home on the market. This means less inventory to choose from. Buyers are more likely to see and choose your home!
3. Those Sellers who delay listing until January will be competing with an influx of new listings. Let’s not get lost in the rush to list.
4. Many people really Deck the Halls during the holidays and that translates to a more beautifully decorated home, which appeals to Buyers.
5. Finding a new place during the holiday season is more emotional for Buyers than other times of the year.
6. Buyers have time off work during the holiday season – and therefore more time to tour your home.
7. Closing on a new home before the end of the year is advantageous for tax reasons – Buyers are ready to sign that deal!
8. New jobs and transfers often take place in January – Buyers are looking for their new home now.
9. List now and let Melanie know if you have special events coming up where you’d like to restrict showings. You still get market exposure and the ability to capture Buyers without interrupting your holiday plans.
10. Get on the market now and capture that Buyer! You can request a delayed closing if needed and not worry about facilitating a move during the holiday season.
11. Selling your home now will help you be able to close on your new dream property faster.
