11 Reasons to List and Sell During the Holidays

Many people say this is a bad time to sell a home, I disagree. In fact, it is a wonderful time to sell and here are 11 reasons why.

1- People who look for a home during the Holidays are more serious buyers!

2- Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you!

3- Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home! Less demand means less money for you!

4- Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays!

5- Buyers are more emotional during the Holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price!

6- Buyers have more time to look for a home during the Holidays than they do during a working week!

7- Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons!

8- January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until Spring to buy, you must be on the market now to capture that market!

9- You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the Holidays!

10- You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year!

11- By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the Spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell high and buy low!
