Many clients ask us if they should sell their home during the holidays.
Here are 10 thoughts on this:
#10: By selling now, you have the opportunity to buy during the spring, when more properties are on the market.
#9: People spend more money in the 4th quarter of the year than they typically do at other times of the year.
#8: Sellers can restrict showings during personal family events and still take advantage of their homes being decorated and “show-ready.”
#7: January is traditionally the month of transfers. Transferees can’t wait until the spring to buy, These buyers need a home now and houses must be on the market to capture these buyers,
#6: Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons.
#5: Your home will look more festive and appealing during the holidays, so it “shows better” than other times of the year.
#4: Buyers are more emotional during the holidays and often base their decision on the warmth and good feelings they receive when viewing a home.
#3: Houses “show better” when decorated for the holidays with festive lights and colors associated with the season.
#2: Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, so the property has less competition.
#1: There is more social buzz, both online and in reality. People attend parties and other social gatherings, which means more opportunities to discuss all the wonderful things about your home
