Many clients ask us, “Should I list during the holidays?” Our recommendation is YES. Here’s why:

  • Buyers are highly motivated and serious. They’re not window shopping. They need to make a decision soon.
  • Buyers have few houses to choose from. Inventory is low compared to the spring.


  • Inventory will increase in January. There will be less demand for your home at the turn of the new year.
  • Houses show better during the holidays. Decorate! Show off your property.
  • Buyers are more determined. They want their dream home.
  • Buyers have more time to look now. They have more time off due to the holidays!
