Welcome back. The holiday season is here and every year I get asked whether it is a good time to list. The answer is yes! In fact I have reasons you should sell now.
- Buyers are more serious - If a buyer is taking the time out of their busy holiday celebration schedule, you know they are ready to commit.
- There is less competition - There are fewer homes on the market, which makes your home more valuable.
- Homes show better during the holidays - Who doesn’t love seeing a home decorated in lights and wreaths?
- Buyers are more emotional - The holidays always add some emotion to a buyer’s decision. This means buyers are more likely to offer your list price.
- Buyers have more time off to look at homes.
- Some buyers need to purchase before the end of the year for tax benefits.
- Most people who are relocating start their jobs in January - That means they are looking for homes now!
- You can restrict your showings - You might be worried that buyers will want to come see your home when you have holiday plans or company coming over. Don’t worry; we can restrict showings and make your home unavailable on the days that don’t work for you.
- By selling now, you will be a non-contingent buyer in the spring - You can sell high and buy low.
Thanks for watching and have a great Thanksgiving!
